MASKS FOR A CAUSE

You Can Make a Difference

​

Artesan and RSCLS (pronounced ’ras-kuhls’), Singapore’s pre-eminent urban art collective, have collaborated on a limited edition face mask exclusively available from 9 April 2021, at the Artesan Gallery at The Esplanade.

Proceeds from the sale of the limited release masks, each priced at Fifteen Dollars each (S$ 15.00), will be donated to Singapore’s at-risk youths, in partnership with the Youth Guidance Outreach Services (YGOS).    The funds will support YGOS’ initiatives that help out-of-school or troubled kids and teenagers learn life-coping skills, such as the Experiential Learning and Mentoring Program (ELMP).

The mask will be presented and offered at the opening of RSCLS’ first art showcase Scratch A Wall or Go Crazy, which takes imaginative form as an installation and art jam, and also features works on canvas from the collective’s Southeast Asia-wide event, The Solidarity Movement.  The exhibit is open for public viewing from 9th April to 6th May, 2021.

The cool, urban mask design by the RSCLS, which they have titled, ‘This is Not the End” is an ironic visualisation, hinting at the pandemic’s grave consequences, while also offering hope and protection through the face-hugging gesture.

It is a moving souvenir to commemorate a moment in human history when we had to end old ways, as well as honour a time of introspection leading to positive transformation.

“We are grateful to RSCLS’ for their donation of talent in this partnership to help Singapore youths,” enthuses Artesan Gallery Director, Roberta Dans.

Artesan Gallery + Studio opens 2021 with a wistful yearning to recall our own uniqueness by presenting masterful artists whose works are omnipresent throughout Singapore’s landscape.

We are also extremely honoured to announce our collaboration with the venerable artist and sculptor Sun Yu-li.  More excitingly, the gallery is exhibiting for the first time, Sun's canvas and paper works by the respected artist whose works take on a far more amorphous characteristic than his previous art forms – a timely reflection of the uncertainties we experience during these times.
