The artist, Sani, with her latest works.

WE LOVE fashion and art. In fact, we love fashion and art so much that we practically fainted at the opening of Ni Nyoman Sani’s exhibit at CurioCity Gallery along Bencoolen Street where she showed over 10 works, mostly in huge canvasses, of women dressed in fabulous clothings they look like they just stepped out of the pages of Vogue magazine.

“I get my inspiration from magazines and Fashion TV,” Sani, in her 30s, whispered to us as she related how she’s always loved to paint images of women, though it’s the first time she’s gone deep into fashionistas.

One of Sani’s favourite designers is John Galliano, and she dreams of one day creating her own clothes, but not for the annual December fashion festival in Bali, where she is from. “I don’t want to do it for the runway, I want to do something different, using found material, something that will make people stop and think,” she says.

CurioCity Gallery (NAFA Campus 2, 38 Bencoolen Street, Singapore 189654; tel. no. )
is open from 10:30am to 5:30pm

'Hurry Up' is one of Sani's favourite pieces.
