If you’re starting to feel a little tired of the familiarity of your home environment, you’re not alone. The pandemic has made our house our safe haven, makeshift office, part-time gym and favourite (and least favourite!) restaurant. A change of scenery is always good, but while travel from Singapore is restricted, one of the best ways to shake things up is by refreshing your living space with some showstopping artwork.

A new piece of art in your apartment or house may be all you need to turn a familiar spot into an elevated new sanctuary. A wall painting can transform a drab area into a hip modern enclave. A decorative centrepiece can direct your attention to creativity and craftsmanship instead of the growing pile of clothes you need to give to charity.

Thankfully, Livingwith Art hasn’t let a little thing like a virus stop it from sourcing gorgeous artworks and creations from around the world. It was set up by ZAK LO, a practicing artist himself; he launched the business in 2003 with the belief that affordable art could and should be brought into all homes.

Art for all

“We have a wide range of art mediums represented: 2D and 3D art paintings, watercolours from Vietnam, Marimekko prints from Finland, DeRosa ceramics from Uruguay, Murano vases from Italy, and bronze sculptures from Asia,” says Zak.

The store also proudly presents a portfolio of artists from Singapore’s art and photography scene, with names including Tan Tui Gee, Pua Ann Chi, Amanda Lim, Wang Miao, Jaime Teo, Samantha Redfern, Nathalie Lauoe, Chen Yi Xi and Linda Preece.
