HBO GAME OF THRONES ART EXHIBITION IN SINGAPORE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Featuring Art Pieces By Singapore-Based Artists And Mondo’s World Renowned Artists
Inspired By The Award-Winning HBO Original Series GAME OF THRONES
SINGAPORE, MARCH 26, 2013 – In conjunction with the premiere of the highly-anticipated third season of the HBO Original Series, GAME OF THRONES, HBO Asia is proud to present the HBO Game Of Thrones Art Exhibition for the first time in Asia. Featuring art pieces by Singapore-based artists and a range of poster art from Mondo’s GAME OF THRONES collection, the exhibition will be open for public viewing from April 6 to 13 at The Luxe Art Museum, Singapore.
Three local designers, kittozutto, PHUNK and Roy Poh, Beautiful have each been commissioned by HBO Asia to produce a GAME OF THRONES series-inspired poster art exclusively for this exhibition, which will also showcase Mondo’s poster series collection for the acclaimed HBO series by world renowned artists – Craig Drake, Daniel Danger, JC Richard, Jock, Ken Taylor, Kilian Eng, Phantom City Creative, Richey Beckett, and Vania Zouravliov.
As part of a charity initiative, the full range of art pieces at the HBO Game Of Thrones Art Exhibition will be auctioned, with bids collected at the gallery throughout the duration of the exhibition. Limited edition prints of the local artists’ art will also be on sale at S$50 each.
