In particular, the works of the late first-generation pioneersCheong Soo Pieng, Chen Wen Hsi, Liu Kang, and Chen Chong Swee hold exceptional significance. These four masters were the founding figures and key representatives of the Nanyang School, and their contributions are of great importance to the history of Singapore art.
Equally notable are the works of the Shanghai School (Haipai) lineage in Singapore, led by master Fan Chang Tien, whose legacy was carried forward by his disciples Ling Cher Eng, Chua Ek Kay, Tan Oe Pang, and Henri Chen Ke Zhan. Their artworks are also highly sought after by collectors and remain widely celebrated in Singapore’s art scene.

Academy Drawing Traditions
The academy drawing and sketching tradition, rooted in centuries of artistic practice, emphasizes disciplined study of form, proportion, and technique. Originating from Renaissance workshops and formalized by institutions like the Royal Academy, it prioritizes meticulous observation and mastery of fundamental skills. Students progress from basic exercises to complex compositions, learning to depict still life and common objects with precision and expression. This tradition values both classical principles and innovation, encouraging artists to push boundaries while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through rigorous training and critique, artists within this tradition cultivate a strong foundation for creative exploration and artistic excellence.
