SGMotorshow2023: Suzuki Presents Four Exclusive Artworks

Friday, January 13th, 2023

One of my favourite finds at the Singapore Motorshow 2023 are the fun and bold artworks created by local artist, Erika Tay, for the Suzuki models on display – Swift, Swift Sport, Jimny, and Ignis.

I love the vibrant and colourful designs for the artworks created for Suzuki by local artist Erika Tay.

On the Suzuki Swift, the Kitsune, a fox well known for its cunning spirit and intelligence, is supposed to mirror the Suzuki Swift’s zippy and spicy personality.

The illustration of the rabbit has a dual meaning – a symbol of speed and a nod to 2023, the Year of the Rabbit.

For non-drivers, the artwork is also available for purchase.

The Swift Sport dons an illustration of a maneki-neko, the Japanese beckoning cat, believed to bring good luck and fortune, surfing on waves to represent the high degree of responsiveness and an exhilarating experience behind the wheel.

Similar to the classic exterior of the Suzuki Ignis, the Daruma dolls designed by the artist presents a timeless representation of Japanese culture.

The illustrations represent the sentiment of past meeting present, while the modern symbols capture the quirky, bold spirit of the Ignis.

N.E.mation! 11 : Art used in N.E.mation! 11

Friday, December 9th, 2016

Here is a sampling of the art used in this year’s N.E.mation! competition.

Simple but innovative use of ink cartoons on plastic cups for use in stop-motion animation. Rotate the outer cup to get different facial expressions or different stages of a chin-up exercise. Prop by N.E. HEH HEH (#NE11C09).

To many, N.E.mation! 11 is first and foremost an animation competition – with animation themes based on the National Education message of building a strong and resilient country that can defend itself against adversity and external threats.

My favourite is this finger puppet of a soldier sewn by [BlankSpace] (#NE11C01). Other finger puppets included civilian clothes like those worn by the Sylvanian family of toy figurines.

So a lot of emphasis is focused on the animation techniques used and how slick and accomplished the completed animation looks.

N.E.mation! 11 bestows upon participating teams the skills of digital animation.

Finding Sanity (#NE11C05) draws their artwork on a computer for their 2D 8-bit animation. I like the patchwork look.

More than that, the competition also brings out the artistic talents in every participating individual.
