Alice Pasquini In South Asia

November 12, 2013 Artists

Urban and fine artist Alice Pasquini just finished a three week trip through Southeast Asian which took her to Singapore, Yogyakarta, and Ho Chi Minh City and where she called forth her aquamarine palette of thoughtful women to walls in new environments while getting to know the local urban art scene and meeting local artists.

“Sometimes we’re forced to adapt: for instance painting with horrible local spray paints or letting go of our daily habits,” she says as she describes challenging herself to work with new materials and create effects that she liked. “You can create some interesting effects using old spray paint meant for cars.” More challenging for an Italian perhaps was foregoing her habit of daily espresso.

After a week of teaching a mural workshop at LaSalle College of Arts in Singapore, which was organized by the Italian Culture Institute of Singapore, she and photographer Jessica Stewart traveled around Indonesia and Vietnam, “to get some new inspiration and escape a bit to a totally new environment,” says Stewart.

They say it was a very different from their experiences in Europe and North America and yet Pasquini says her search for subcultures that resemble the Street Art and Urban Art environment of the more Western variety. “I was in need of new inspiration,” says Alice, and “what I saw was amazement and admiration for urban art and I was able to encounter growing subcultures”.

Special thanks to Ms. Stewart for sharing these exclusive images of the trip with BSA readers.
