The atmosphere at the Affordable Art Fair was bustling and crowded, with some booths being so busy that the owners barely had time to take a break. The fair is in its third edition in Singapore and has been steadily growing.
Some of the more popular works were Canadian artist Marie-Danielle Lablanc’s paintings on cherry tree wood, which were sold as soon as they were on the walls, and the ceramic Doc Marts by Indonesian artist Purnomo.
