About the artwork
‘As above so below; as within so without.’Aunties and jellies dress for the occasion of planetary movements, their energy and chakras shifting into sacred alignment. This video was created and published during the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer, inspired by time spent in Uruguay in late 2024 and the expansive beauty of its countryside. The final scene pays homage to Campo Arts Festival founder Heidi Lender, with a nod to her red truck and her dog, Mimo.
Niceaunties is a contemporary artist and designer based in Singapore. Drawing inspiration from the influential women in her family and the distinct 'auntie culture,' her work explores themes of ageing, beauty, personal freedom, and everyday life through AI and digital art. Her life experiences and architectural training inform the conceptual basis of her pieces, while her focus on the nuanced behaviours of 'aunties' highlights the culture prevalent in Asian communities.
These women, embodying a spectrum from strange and funny to mean and kind, profoundly influenced the artist's early life and creative narrative, laying the foundation for the unique storytelling of "Niceaunties." Exploring themes like aging, beauty, personal freedom, and the nuances of everyday life, Niceaunties expresses her vision through the mediums of generative and digital art. Her creations are marked by an amalgamation of surrealism, fantasy, and the vibrant aesthetics of kawaii culture.
Influenced by surreal art, fantasy, and kawaii culture, Niceaunties' art champions empowerment and self-expression.
