RÉVOLUTION! - A Fools' Dialogue brings together twenty local outsider artists, each responding directly to an artwork by a revolutionary French master. These are our riff-raffs and rule-breakers, inspired yet challenging the standard set by France with a fearless and frank perspective. By answering and reinterpreting French references, these artists define their own Singaporean stories, engaging a necessary dialogue between a young culture and an established canon.
Revolutions begin when fools have dialogues. It takes a unique courage to be unafraid of tradition, a bravery France pioneered through the artists referenced who strayed away from conventions and redefined art itself. Today, the Singapore art scene remains nascent and raw. In the wake of the French trailblazers, this show aims to highlight the path Singaporeans are carving for themselves.

About the gallery
Mr Lim’s Shop Of Visual Treasures is a fiercely independent, loosely formed gallery founded by Lim Chiao Woon in 2021. An ex-corporate minion, he quit after health challenges to pursue his true passion: supporting artists and promoting art in an “art-adverse” city. With the guidance of luminaries such as Ai Weiwei, Vasan Sitthiket, Melati Suryodarmo, Tang Da Wu, Cheo Chai-Hiang and many more, Lim offers a flexible, accessible platform for artists and art lovers. He champions those with unique visions, often forged through very tough backgrounds. He supports anyone who sees art not as a hobby or decoration but as a true and mad belief. And he delights in converting brand loyalists into art enthusiasts.
