Art in Transit: “Art Lineage” by Erzan B Adam

Art Lineage explores how multi- and inter-cultural relationships within a community interact and negotiate to co-exist. The lines distinct to each ‘artist’, is the creation of the community. The final artwork is a compositional play of these lines to show how different races and cultures within the community can interact harmoniously to co-exist. With involvement of the community and the use of lines as the sole element, this artwork emphasizes unity, conceptually and visually. Erzan’s work is essentially a reflection of Singapore’s integrated multi-racial and multi-cultural society.
