Delicately Grand is a special showcase of Kumari Nahappan’s iconic public sculptures, presented as intimate maquettes in celebration of SinGa60. These miniature works invite audiences to experience the monumental presence of her art up close, highlighting the elegance, symbolism, and storytelling that have defined her practice across decades.
Kumari’s sculptures—seen in landmark sites from Orchard Road to international cityscapes—draw from natural forms and cultural motifs, weaving together ideas of ritual, heritage, and transformation. In Delicately Grand, the smaller scale allows viewers to encounter these works as touchstones of memory and imagination, revealing the meticulous process and vision behind each public installation.
As part of SinGa60, which marks sixty years of India–Singapore ties, this exhibition celebrates the shared cultural currents that inspire Kumari’s art. Just as the festival honours enduring connections in trade, diplomacy, and community, Delicately Grand reflects the harmony between tradition and contemporary expression—a testament to creativity as a bridge between nations and generations.
