[b. 1906-1991]

Chen Wen Hsi was a Chinese-born Singaporean painter known for his use of representational imagery as a catalyst for creating abstract shapes and colors.

Influenced by traditional Chinese paintings, the early Cubist works Pablo Picasso, and Paul Klee, Chen created his own vocabulary of forms and colors based in the observation of nature, animals, and man-made structures. Born on September 9, 1906 in Guangdong, China, he studied at the Xinhua Academy of Fine Arts in Shanghai before moving to Singapore in 1948 during the Chinese Civil War.

He was a never-say-die artist who was continuously experimenting with new artistic compositions and materials, resulting in both inventive abstract patterns and compassionate representations of Balinese figures. Along with artists like Chen Wen Hsi, Liu Kang, and Georgette Chen, he was a pioneer of the Nanyang Style.
Cheong used graphic outlines and mellow tones to elevate tropical daily life in Southeast Asia, combining the sensibilities of Chinese ink and Western oil painting. His unusual paintings of doe-eyed feminine figures with elongated limbs and simple outlines reminiscent of wayang kulit puppets were inspired by a trip to Bali in 1952. He explored space and form by digging deeper into sculptures and assemblages, displaying his mastery across mediums while pushing the frontiers of abstract art.

Chen Chong Swee

[b. 1910-1985]

Chen was best known for his realist style and application of Chinese ink painting techniques. Combining Chinese and Western pictorial traditions, Chen was one of the first to capture the Southeast Asian landscape and its people in the Chinese ink and brush landscape format

Jung Kwang Sik

[b. 1955]

Internationally recognized for his masterful fusion of painting and sculpture, South Korean artist Jung Kwang Sik graduated in 1992 with a Stage Design major from Carrara Academy, Italy, later receiving his BFA from Hong-lk University in 1996. Utilizing beds of carved and scratched granite, which he then paints, his works suggest sweeping landscapes viewed from an aerial perspective. His exceptional skill of carving, scratching and painting creates a vision of landscapes as one might see them from 30,000 feet, materialized in trails of crustal movements, the swelling and contraction of the earth, and the etched beauty of erosion. The resulting visual field is majestic and unforgettable.

Coplu

[b. 1958]

Born in the Turkish town of Ushak, Coplu brought into the art world his distinctive style of cartoons, filled with warm and sentimental characters that range from silly to profound.

Lee Lee-Nam

[b. 1969]

South Korean artist, Lee Lee Nam creates innovative and dynamic aesthetic masterpieces by combining the use of technology with classic representations, using monitors to replace canvases and translating his work into “pure, moving image art”. Born in 1969 at Damyang, Lee graduated with a Ph.D in 2007 from Yongsei University, Seoul, Korea. His creations of post-modern video artwork are as fictitious as dreams overlapping reality and one’s illusions, encompassing both the traditional and modern image. Lee’s artistic displays are found in New York, Beijing, Germany, Washington, and he has held over 200 exhibitions worldwide.

Lee Gil-Rae

[b. 1919]

Lee Gil-Rae graduated from Kyunghee University after studying in the department of art education, later going on to gain his Masters in the discipline of Sculpture. For twenty years, Lee used nature as his muse and crafted sculptures from steel and copper pipes. With rapid deforestation, Lee Gil-Rae’s trees narrate the artificial nature that city dwellers so closely identify with. The man-made and constructed simulation of nature is apparent in all towns and cities. Nature is removed and confined to make room for the ever-expanding population.
Lee Gil-Rae has participated in several exhibitions in Korea, America and Japan and features in numerous permanent collections. He constructs enormous forests of copper, capturing this rapidly depleting resource for eternity.
In his persistent need to create organic forms Lee Gil-Rae takes it one step further in creating man-made nature. His works consist of surreal, leafless forests that one can meander into, with spiralling branches that are unnatural in structure but organic in aesthetic.

[b. 1907-1987]

Born in 1940, Ling Cher Eng was a second-generation Singaporean artist. Ling studied Chinese painting under the pioneer artist Fan Chang Tien (1907-1987) from 1957, when he attended Chung Cheng High School. The literati tradition of the Shanghai School of painting as practised by Fan, which can be traced back to the Shanghai School masters Wang Geyi, Wang Yiting, Pan Tianshou and Zhu Wenyun deeply influenced Ling and resonated with his passion for ink painting.

Ling greatly admired Fan and studied under him with determination to master the arts of verse, painting, calligraphy and seal-carving, the four attributes of the literati tradition. Ling’s dedication and perseverance led him to continue his tutelage under Fan for the next thirty years from 1957 to 1987, making him the first and longest disciple of Fan Chang Tien.

Having acquired a strong foundation from Fan’s tutelage, Ling Cher Eng’s works captured the carefree and effortless expressionism of the Shanghai School xieyi style. Ling’s oeuvre spans a wide range of subjects.
