A Retrospective of Wu Yu’s Comic Works. Wu Yu’s Comic Retrospective Exhibition honours the life and legacy of one of Singapore’s most prolific newspaper comic artists, Wu Yu (无语), whose career spans over five decades. The exhibition offers a rare glimpse into his creative evolution, showcasing works from his early years to his later, more introspective pieces that offered poignant reflections on life, mortality and resilience as he battled cancer. His distinctive style blends humor with social commentary, capturing both the light and dark aspects of life.
In addition to the exhibition, visitors can enjoy free programs such as a live musical performance, a comic workshop by cartoonist Chao, and a talk featuring local cartoonists, reflecting on their time in the “Comic Fast Food Team,” a youth cartooning collective founded by Wuyu in 1989. Hosted at the Visual Arts Centre, the exhibition highlights Wuyu’s lasting impact on Singapore’s comic culture.
Opening hours are from 11am to 8pm. Admission is free.
本地资深漫画家无语的个人漫画回顾展将于4月3日至7日在视觉艺术中心(Visual Arts Centre)举行。展览主题为“无语无常无所畏”,将全面呈现无语五十年来的漫画创作历程,展示其独特的画风及多元题材、多元形式的作品。内容包括单格漫画、四格漫画、多格漫画、短篇连环画以及一文一图的组合,探索了漫画艺术表现的无限可能。每一幅作品都是无语对生活与人性的细腻观察与诠释,后期作品更融入了他面对癌症病痛的人生感悟,映照他如何以乐观态度面对人生挑战,以作品传递勇气与希望。
除了展出漫画作品外,周末还将举行一系列活动,包括歌唱表演,演无语作词的歌曲、漫画人王朝弘的漫画讲座及学生漫画团体“漫画快餐队”前成员萤火虫、麦田圈君和王朝弘的分享会。展览开放时间为早上11点至晚上8点。
Wu Yu, a local cartoonist born in 1958, has worked as an editor and reporter for New Generation, Lianhe Zaobao, and Friday Weekly. He loved doodling as a child, and published his first piece of comic in Nanyang Siang Pau in 1973. He became actively involved in cartoon activities starting from university, joining the student cartoon group “Comic Bao”. Later, while working at Lianhe Zaobao, he founded “Comic Fast Food,” another cartoon collective that has nurtured many talented cartoonists and illustrators who remain active to this day. Over the past 50 years, Wu Yu has published ten comic and illustrated columns in various newspapers. His comic works covered a broad range of subjects, including office culture, social issues, and popular trends, often combining humor with social commentary.
Despite battling cancer from 2012 onwards, Wu Yu continued to create, turning his personal struggles into art. His later works, such as Singing into the Pain, reflect his deep reflections on life and mortality. In 2022, after a second cancer diagnosis, Wu Yu focused on compiling and publishing his past works, including a memoir on his 50-year career, My Life is a Comic. Wu Yu’s legacy as a prolific and diverse comic artist, as well as his mentorship to younger artists, has cemented his place in Singapore’s comic history.
