B.O.R.N. - Chen Qing solo art exhibition | 生生胡姬 . 魅力新加坡 - 陈庆 . 画展

Chen Qing, female, was born in Guizhou, China. She had strong interest to paint since childhood, and her interest eventually lead her to learn from famous French-Chinese artist Jia Juanli. With the inspiration from the art pieces displayed at Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the combination of emotions derived from the global COVID-19 pandemic, Chen Qing felt that she needed to draw something that is positive and full of vitality. Hence she chose Singapore National Flower – Orchids as a subject matter in many of her new paintings in this exhibition; as it has the meaning of "excellent and splendid, immortal for all generations", and full of spirituality and tenacious vitality, unrestrained and gorgeous flower posture.

Chen Qing graduated from Beijing Normal University with a master's degree. She was a director at the Singapore Art Society. Currently a member of Guizhou Artists Association, and a director of Zunyi Oil Painting Society in Guizhou, and a permanent member of Singapore Art Society. A large number of paintings were selected for domestic and foreign art exhibitions and won many awards. In 2019, her paintings were selected for the 13th National Art Exhibition in China (Ministry of Culture, China Federation of Literary and Art Circles) , hosted by the China Artists Association. Many of her works are in private collectors home as well as various institutions worldwide.

A.F.R.E.S.H. An Art Exhibition By Eng Siak Loy | 新 . 情 翁锡礼 作品展

Mr. Eng Siak Loy's artistic career has spanned over five successful decades. During this time, the multi-faceted artist has played many significant roles, and has demonstrated his skill by always bringing the best out of his subject matter, regardless of the platform or material used.

He is fluent in almost any medium, including charcoal, watercolour, acrylic, and oil. And his use of bold and impressionistic strokes brings movement and life to his paintings, evoking a profound sense of aesthetics and emotions that is distinctly his own. The subjects he paints are scenes that he holds close to his heart – Singapore history, culture, overseas environments, and nature.

The artist is also Singapore's most experienced stamp artist, having created at least 60 sets of stamps for the nation – including stamps commemorating the 25th ECAFE Plenary Session (held in 1969), the 150th Anniversary of Singapore 1819-1969 special commemorative stamps, the Opening of Gardens by the Bay stamp series, the 150th anniversary of Singapore Botanic Gardens stamp series, the Singapore Botanic Gardens UNESCO World Heritage Site commemorative stamp series, and his multiple award-winning HSBC Care-for-Nature Heritage Trees Stamp series.

As an environmental artist, Mr Eng created huge three dimensional iconic works like the Singapore Botanic Gardens' main gate, the five swan sculptures at the swan lake, historic murals at Fort Canning Park, the metallic Kingfishers and ants at the Gardens by the Bay to name a few.

In 1999, Mr. Eng was the first Singaporean to work on the entire Portrait Series of currency notes. He created these notes that showcase the vision of our growing nation, inspiring Singaporeans nationwide. He had also worked on the commemorative notes.

Mr. Eng's artistic endeavours have been recognised both nationally and internationally, with notable awards including the UNESCO NOMA Illustrations Award, the UNESCO NOMA Special Award, the "Most Beautiful stamp in Asia" and "Second Most Beautiful Stamp in the World" awards, the Tan Tsze Chor Art Special Awards, and the Ngee Ann Artist of the Year.

In recognition of his lifetime of artistic accomplishments, Mr. Eng was conferred the prestigious President's Design Award, Designer of the Year, in 2007. The jury's citation read, "In an age where we are inundated with digital design, it is very inspiring to see that the Art and Craft tradition is still alive and thriving in Singapore, through the versatile public design works of this Grand Master."

This exhibition showcases 30 pieces of his recent works.

“Overturn For Spring” By Katrina Pallon

A new year brings a host of new possibilities, and visual artist Katrina Pallon celebrated the unfolding narrative of 2019 with a collection that reflects her nuanced understanding of the Chinese culture’s aesthetic principles – principles that are strongly integrated with their appreciation and understanding of the inner workings of the universe. Throughout history, symbolism is the visual language that ancient mystics were fluent in and were endeavoured to share through traditional paintings that were brimming with design elements representative of significant milestones and, at times, for the purpose of drawing in good fortune.
