(May 8, 2025, Singapore) What does a forest sound like when it comes alive indoors? What stories does a river carry across cultures and generations? Opening on 30 April 2026, When Art Meets Nature invites children and families on an immersive, multi-sensory journey inspired by the world around us. Co-curated by the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts and National Gallery Singapore, this presentation brings two works from the exhibition's first showing in 2025 at the Taoyuan Children's Art Center to Singapore, offering local audiences a rare opportunity to encounter them up close.

Transforming the Gallery into a landscape of textures, sounds, and colour, Peace Forest by Singaporean artist Soh Ee Shaun reimagines an immersive forest ecosystem populated with soft sculptures of endangered animals and lush botanical forms. Inspired by the artist’s encounters with nature, the work offers families a restorative space for open-ended play, observation, and discovery. In Where the River Runs, Taiwanese artist Yenting Hsu draws visitors into a sound-led experience shaped by the indigenous stories and traditions of communities living along Taiwan's Dahan River, where waterways become vessels of cultural memory, ecological knowledge, and coexistence.

Bringing together cross-cultural artistic perspectives rooted in ecological thinking, When Art Meets Nature fosters environmental awareness and reflects National Gallery Singapore's ongoing commitment to regional artistic dialogue and lifelong engagement with art.
