David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) is an immersive visual experience that invites audiences inside the mind of one of the most influential artists of our time. Brought to Singapore in collaboration with Lightroom London, the show explores how David Hockney has continually challenged the way we see the world, across painting, photography, drawing, and digital media.
Through large-scale projections, layered sound, and dynamic spatial design, audiences are guided through Hockney’s creative process, from his early experiments with perspective to his bold use of colour and new technologies. Rather than a traditional biography, the experience focuses on seeing how scale, proximity, and attention transform everyday moments into something extraordinary.
Look forward to the boundless imagination of David Hockney, revealed through six captivating chapters of art, sound, and storytelling. Experience his creative journey — from vibrant iPad paintings to grand landscapes and stage designs — brought to life with music by Nico Muhly. Step inside Hockney’s world and discover how he transforms the way we see perspective, time, and beauty itself.
Botero: Heart of Volume is a major gallery exhibition presenting the largest presentation of Fernando Botero’s works ever shown in Asia, drawn directly from the Botero family collection. Spanning the artist’s 70-year career, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings, and indoor sculptures that trace the evolution of his distinctive “Boterismo” style.
From intimate studies and watercolours to fully realised compositions, the works reveal Botero’s mastery of form, colour, and balance. Set within IMBA’s gallery space, visitors are invited to experience his art up close, appreciating the warmth and discipline behind some of the most recognisable works in modern art.

I expected more exhibits, like the Mona Lisa one but don’t have. Otherwise other exhibits are cute.

Mesmerizing experience. It’s just the one room with a 50 min video playing on a loop though. I was hoping for a few different experiences.
