Amin Gulgee Headlines at Art Stage Singapore 2018 with Wei-Ling Gallery

Art Stage Singapore 2018, Southeast Asia’s premier contemporary art fair, featured internationally acclaimed Pakistani sculptor Amin Gulgee as a key highlight at Wei-Ling Gallery’s curated booth. Held from January 26–28, 2018, at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, the event gathered over 120 leading galleries from 27 countries, showcasing the vibrancy of global contemporary art.

Representing a strong South and Southeast Asian artistic dialogue, Wei-Ling Gallery spotlighted Amin Gulgee among a select group of visionary artists. Renowned for his intricate bronze sculptures and conceptual installations, Gulgee’s work bridges Islamic geometry, mysticism, and performance, resonating with audiences seeking deeper engagement with themes of identity, culture, and spiritual abstraction.

His presence at Booth B3 exemplified the gallery’s commitment to bringing critical South Asian voices to international platforms. Gulgee’s work stood out for its commanding aesthetic and intellectual depth, reflecting his ongoing exploration of Sufi philosophy, sacred symbols, and corporeal expression.

Alongside other leading regional artists such as Anurendra Jegadeva, Choy Chun Wei, Chin Kong Yee, Rajinder Singh, and Cheong Kiet Cheng, Amin Gulgee brought a uniquely South Asian sculptural language to the fair, engaging collectors, curators, and critics alike.

The gallery also hosted “The Undiscovered Country – Reflections on Mortality Through Performative Art”, a special collaborative performance project conceived by Rajinder Singh and Daniela Beltrani. While the performance focused on meditations around life and death, Gulgee’s presence grounded the exhibit in material form, offering a powerful contrast between physical permanence and ephemeral art.
