Fire Horse – The Decisive Moment, Blue Horse Series Exhibition - Ma Dongmin

Leica Store Singapore

Join us for Fire Horse – The Decisive Moment, a Blue Horse Series Exhibition by Ma Dongmin presented by Art Vault Asia and Leica Singapore

Leica Store South Beach Quarter

This major solo exhibition brings together 24 oil-on-canvas Blue Fire Horse Collection works by internationally acclaimed Beijing-based artist Ma Dongmin (马东民). It marks the first oil-on-canvas exhibition hosted by Leica in Southeast Asia.The exhibition’s title, “The Decisive Moment”, is the precise instant in which composition, emotion and meaning come into alignment. This ethos finds a natural parallel in Ma’s practice. Using a Leica Q camera, he observes and photographs horses in their natural environment, studying their form, structure and movement. These captured moments become the foundation of his paintings. On canvas, he moves beyond form, expressing the threshold of motion, the breath before the gallop, the tension before release. Here, photography, painting and design converge, united by a shared pursuit of timing, instinct and expression.A highlight of the exhibition is "Registered Kiss" (150 cm × 200 cm, painted in 2012), Ma’s homage to Alfred Eisenstaedt’s iconic photograph "V-J Day in Times Square," which Alfred Eisenstaedt, originally captured on a Leica IIIa camera in 1945. The image, symbolising the end of World War II, remains one of the most recognisable photographs of the 20th century, a spontaneous expression of collective relief and joy. Reinterpreted in Ma’s signature cerulean palette, the work is being exhibited in Singapore for the first time.Presented during the Lunar Year of the Fire Horse, a rare cyclical occurrence associated with boldness and transformation, this showcase offers collectors a rare opportunity to meet Ma Dongmin and acquire significant works from the Blue Fire Horse Collection.Contact &amp; Enquiries For more information or any enquiries, please visit: www.artvaultasia.com or email: advisory@artvaultasia.comPrivacy Notice By registering for or attending "Fire Horse - The Decisive Moment", an exhibition featuring the "Blue Horse Series" by Ma Dongmin at the Leica Store, South Beach Quarter, Singapore, presented in partnership with Art Vault Asia, you agree that basic personal information such as your name and contact details may be collected for purposes related to the organisation and smooth running of the exhibition, including guest registration, event communications, and insurance purposes relating to the valuable artworks on display.
