对新加坡人来说，收藏艺术品是一项好的投资`选择吗？ Case Study 在新加坡，随着经济的飞速发展，新加坡外来投资移民的增加，新加坡政府的管理系统的完善，使新加坡成为人均收入最高的国家之一，人均国民生产总值（GDP）从2014年开始就已经达到了5万5千美金左右，在全球位居第七位，领先于世界众多国家a新加坡人民生活很富裕，生活水准高，人们对生活品质的要求也相应提高。大多数人有钱就买房、买车、炒股或者买奢侈品等，只有一小部分人选择投资艺术品。艺术品的投资回报率未必比前几样差，那么为什么收藏艺术品至今还是相对小众呢？ 钟泗滨 (Cheong Soo Pieng) 作品 收藏其实是人生的一种境界，因为收藏品承载着历史和文化，承载着艺术审美和工艺传承。收藏艺术品有太多益处，通过收藏，增加文化修养和体会艺术品收藏带来的精神享受，同时由于艺术收藏品的稀有性和独特的价值，具有投资升值的功能。其次，通过收藏能结交收藏圈子里志同道合的朋友，有共同语言、共同见解，互相取长补短，相互促进，真正的建立良性的收藏观和认识观，从而更好地传播文化。 王金城 (Ong Kim Seng) 作品 在新加坡60年代和70年代，出现一批收藏家，他们大多是早期移民或者在本土出生，接受过华语教育，他们对中国的传统水墨画感兴趣。当时中国的国画名家作品价格低，新加坡藏家很容易买到价格合理的优秀作品。这些藏品如今的价格已经增长几百倍，甚至千倍，当初那些有眼光的藏家们，若是等到近几年才转手，他们当初的投资将会得到丰厚的回报。 若欲阅读全文，请点击这里。 More Case Studies 10 important benefits of art classes for kids 8 January 2020 Singapore’s Art Market Trends 21 July 2021 在网上也能学到专业的艺术课程！ 24 May 2021 Load More

对南洋画派新加坡第一代艺术先驱作品的印象 记得在2013年我们画廊刚成立时，得力于几个新加坡老一代收藏家的大力支持和信任，我们画廊的第一个展览就是汇聚他们藏品的《新加坡第一代艺术先驱》－南洋画派始祖画家画展。这个展览机会让我们通过藏家便进一步了解第一代艺术家的经历和故事。而我们又通过欣赏作品再结合艺术家的故事，进而对南洋画派有了更加深刻的印象。 从2013年至今，我们举办过多次大型画展，有新加坡第一代已故画家遗作展，新加坡第二代画家展览；新加坡当代画家展览；新加坡实力派名家画展；新加坡青年画家展览等。在无数次画展中，通过和画家还有众藏家接触中，新加坡第一代和第二代画家作品还是在人们当中最具分量的。真可谓没有新加坡第一代画家就没有南洋画派；就没有新加坡艺术。 那么，到底什么是南洋画派？南洋画派的代表，新加坡第一代画家领军人物是谁？ 我们首先来了解一下“南洋画派”的开山鼻祖之一，新加坡第一代艺术先驱陈文希（1906 – 1992）。 提起陈文希，新加坡新一代年轻人可能并不熟悉，实际上绝大多数新加坡人都接触过他的作品——他的代表作《枯藤双猿图》就印在每张50新币的纸币背面。 陈文希出生于 1906年出生在中国广东省揭阳县， 他中学毕业后，考入上海美专，后转校至新华艺术专科学校，受教于潘天寿等名师。1928年与陈宗瑞等画友合力创办春阳绘画社，并在汕头、广州、香港、上海等城市举行个展。1937年，参与在南京举行的中国第二届全国美展，受到徐悲鸿赏识，同年，被英国画室杂志列入当代中国十大画家之一。1948年，陈文希远道下南洋，先后任教于新加坡华侨中学、南洋美术专科学校（下文统一简称“南洋美专“）。1952年，陈文希和刘抗、钟泗滨、陈宗瑞，结伴到印尼峇厘岛旅游写生创作。次年，四人在新加坡联合举办轰动一时的“峇厘之旅作品展”，此后一种展现南洋地区社会风貌的艺术语言逐步形成——“南洋画派”，奠定了他们“四大先驱画家”的地位。 欲阅览全文，请点击这里。 More Blogs 凭什么，新加坡乌节路寸土寸金的商业宝地竟给国人当画室? 快!带你去看看! 30 September 2021 在新加坡哪里能学专业素描／速写、油画、水彩、丙烯、水墨、艺术作品集准备、儿童美术、儿童青少年书法等专业美术绘画课？ 10 November 2019 How to Build a Strong Foundation in Art for Kids & Teenagers 26 July 2020
