The National Gallery is made up of government buildings and old high courts. Two buildings seem to hooded together with a huge cover, standing on the first floor and look up at, the effect is very shocking. Walking on the third floor or the fourth floor of the glass bridge, you can overlook the exquisite buildings on both sides. But the fifth floor of the steeple, there is a readily available perception, the Gallery itself, is a superb work of art. A lot of collection in the Gallery of Singapore and Southeast Asian works of art, showcasing art from 19th century to the present Singapore and Southeast Asia, to show the Singapore regional cultural and social, economic and political history. The art Gallery is very large, we did not follow the course of the visit, we mainly to visit the very famous Yayoi Kusama's art exhibition, very valuable ink collection exhibition, Vietnamese lacquer painting, and so on.

Among them, I was impressed Yayoi Kusama's exhibition. Kusama was known as"The queen of wave point" . She popular with Polka, pumpkin patterns and infinity mirror room in the world.

Repeated wave points, not only fashion or decoration, this has a strong style of the iconic elements, all the time stressed the infinite eternal and continuity of the spirit. Filled with infinite extension of dot, line patterns, colors, spaces of each other fully embodies the spiritual need for infinite space.

Kusama patterns come alive, always bringing people into a wonderful fantasy world.Hallucinations-proliferation and makes you feel in a pattern of losing weight, it has no beginning and no end.

I also like the Vietnamese lacquer painting, I marvel at the fine Vietnamese lacquer painting and drawing in a special gloss. Although each picture is not very big, but look, feels like the whole picture is very profound. Content is very rich, very tactile. Although the venue is not very big but very bright and show a lot of amazing work. I like this painting of textures: very smooth surface, from a different perspective, you can see some very fine and very fine luster.

In "Ink art form the Xiu Hai Lou collection" and the works of Wu Guanzhong. And make me to discover the charm of Chinese ink painting. Has that kind of just monotone colors, but can be used different shades to show a picture of artistic conception. Amazing the author of drawing skills, makes people has the impulse want to go into the painting.
