    GENEVIEVE CHUA'S SOLO exhibition at STPI opened in late February and had to close just over a month later, because of the circuit breaker. It recently reopened, but will close for good on July 19. If you miss it this time, you should kick yourself. Simply put, it's one of the best solo art shows you'll see this year.

    Chua, 36, has been actively working for more than a decade. Over time, her works have become more complex and technical - and yet oddly more delicate and impalpable too. The STPI show titled Twofold is her largest showcase ever, with works curated by Melanie Pocock from four different series all in one room, sometimes right next to each other, to create a dialogue.

    Hence, even If you are familiar with her oeuvre, this show offers a rare chance to track and evaluate her decade-long development as an artist.
