Argillet\u2019s daughter Christine, the epitome of Parisian chic, curated the collection and was here to present it at the preview.<\/p> <p>Not for nothing was Dali such a draw during his lifetime and not for nothing does he continue to be even now among the X generation. His bold, detailed and <a title=\"Bao Bao Lucent Graffiti tote by Issey Miyake\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/bao-bao-lucent-graffiti-tote-by-issey-miyake\/\">quirky<\/a> etchings that include women\u2019s private parts must have been calculated to astonish and irritate then as it does now.<\/p> <p>The master <a title=\"Bringing sexy back: How to pick the perfect lingerie set\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/bringing-sexy-back-how-to-pick-the-perfect-lingerie-set\/\">provocateur<\/a> and Surrealist master artist was an extremely perceptive and skillful artist \u2013 regardless of the medium he worked with and the Red Sea exhibition includes Dali\u2019s original etchings, drawings and tapestries.<\/p> <p>Sharing some first-hand accounts and personal insights into the collaboration between her father and Dali, Ms Argillet described Dali as \u2018shy\u2019 and \u2018extremely brilliant\u2019 and ironically, as someone \u201cvery respectful, afraid to offend anyone.\u201d Who would have thought so, looking at his witty and almost iconoclastic approach to some subjects.<\/p> <p>These original works have been a part of the Argillet family collection since their creation by Dali during his collaborative years with Pierre Argillet and unlike the elaborate paintings we are most used to seeing done by him, we are privy to several aspects of Dali\u2019s beliefs on political, social and emotional issues through his etchings and drawings, that we might otherwise overlook. \u201cThe exhibition, thus offers the rate opportunity to view and acquire works of impeccable provenance by the Surrealist master,\u201d said Mr. Chris Churcher, The founder and director of REDSEA Gallery.<\/p> <p>Among the highlights of the exhibition is the series <em>Poems of Mao Zedong and<\/em> <em>The Hippies<\/em> which link Dali to Asia. In 1967, at the height of the Cultural Revolution, Pierre Argillet commissioned Dali to illustrate the poems of Mao Zedong, and Dali created eight illustrations, some of which were political satires, executed in his surrealist vision. All eight works are on exhibit at the gallery. <em><\/em><\/p> <p>The etchings from Dali\u2019s series, <em>Surrealistic Bullfight, <\/em>epitomize his style with their burlesque touches. Dali used satire to show his opposition to bullfights which he found primitive. This series also features a stunning tapestry, done in the traditional Aubusson weaving style.<\/p> <p>Dinner with Dali won\u2019t be such a far-fetched idea for the rest of the month for Singaporeans - and perhaps neighbours who are planning to visit the little red dot should take advantage of it too.<\/p>  <p><em>More information about SALVADOR DALI: The Argillet Collection, can be found <a href=\"www.redseagallery.com\">here.<\/a><\/em><\/p> <p> <em>The exhibition runs from the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> of March until the 20<sup>th<\/sup> of April at the REDSEA Gallery at Dempsey Hill, Singapore.<\/em><\/p>  <p><em>Diya-Maya Tsering-Bhalla<\/em><\/p>   ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore residents and visitors alike get a chance to enjoy Surrealist master Salvador Dali's work at a new exhibition in town.
