"We have always received a warm reception from collectors here," says Strumpf. "[Singapore] is also the perfect base to connect with our network, while still being just 8 hours away from Sydney."

Sullivan+Strumpf was established in 2005, and showcases works of emerging and established artists from around the region. Here are 3 artists that caught out eye.

1. Alex Seaton

Don't be afraid to run your fingers over Seaton's work; his art is "made to be touched". The two pieces exhibited at Sullivan+Strumpf were inspired by his childhood memory of covering saplings in his garden during harsh winters, and Seaton uses cool marble and light greys to invoke frosty memories. His main tools - a hammer and chisel, with dental tools to chip at the finer ridges.

2. Joanna Lamb

Stand in front of Lamb's works and you might think you're seeing double. But it's part of Lamb's style of hard-edged and refined geometric compositions that depict spaces of sub-urbanity as an "on-going exploration of the idea of home". Lamb's art usually stems from her current obsession with certain colours, where she then comes up with a composition that fits.

3. Richard Lewer

Known for his video and animations, Lewer reworks unpleasant scenes - think illness or crime - into by taking away their edge and probing at core issues with a sensitive touch.
