Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI)

STPI (Singapore Tyler Print Institute) is a contemporary art gallery with print and paper, creating unique and quality artworks. The artist can be from a whole of the world who has good quality. One of them is Shinro Othake comes from Japan.

Shinro Othake does his artworks by drawing, pasted works, painting, sculpture and photography, as well as large-scale assemblage pieces and experimental music and videos, it is his activity of collage that appears to be most characteristic of his artistic expression.

Most of his artworks are using paper pulp painting, collage.

These are one of gallery interior which shows Shinro Othake's artworks. The place is quiet, clean and all the artworks are very interesting and unique.

This is the large scrapbook which is made by Shinro Othake. He did collage, and pulp paper painting. Some of the artworks look like so messy and can not be understood, but somehow`there is art that can make the artwork is so interesting.

This one of the pulp paper painting. The theme of this painting is about forest. Although the color of trees are pink, the color is contrast and nice to be looked.

This is one of forest painting which is using pulp paper in black and white color. Although, the artwork looks messy, it can still be understood that it is a forest. How the artist create this artwork is also unique and has different character with other artist.

Doing field trip to Singapore Tyler Print Institute is one new experience for me. It is because, I can know one of famous artist from Japan, Shinro Othake who has unique way to create his artworks. Moreover, I can know about pulp paper which can be used for creating a wonderful artwork.

By this field trip, I get inspired that paper is not only for printing, but it can be used for creating something different and meaningful for other people.

I never using pulp paper for creating an artwork, but by knowing about Shinro Othake, I just realize that, to create an artwork, not should be always digital, but can use other materials which can be managed creatively.
