This immersive show, running from November 14th, 2024 to January 11th, 2025, invites viewers to explore the interplay of light and shadow, hope and melancholy, through Ong's evocative paintings and sculptures.

Light and Shadow:

Ong's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension in her works. Light becomes a metaphor for hope, illuminating the darkness and revealing hidden beauty. Shadows, on the other hand, represent the complexities of human emotion, the hidden depths that lie beneath the surface.

The artist's use of color, texture, and light adds to the emotional resonance of her works, inviting viewers to connect with the universal themes she explores.


A Dialogue with the Viewer:

"The Light Between Us" is not just an exhibition; it's a dialogue between the artist and the viewer. Ong's works invite contemplation, reflection, and personal interpretation. The multi-sensory elements of the show further enhance this dialogue, creating an immersive experience that resonates long after the viewer has left the gallery.


A Celebration of the Human Spirit:

Sylvia Ong's "The Light Between Us" is a celebration of the human spirit, its resilience, its vulnerability, and its capacity for hope. Through her evocative art, Ong invites us to explore the complexities of human emotion and find beauty in the interplay of light and shadow.
