Commemorate
Solo exhibition
Allen Tang, a third-generation Singaporean artist, held the “Commemorate ” solo exhibition on 12th September to commemorate the 100th birthday of Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew (16th September ). His contemporary abstract painting style pays homage to a generation of great men who transformed Singapore from a village into an economic powerhouse in Southeast Asia. [Commemorate] is named by Allen, a man’s quiet longing of this memory …
He was once high-spirited with strong will
He was once a powerful political figure in the international arena
when Singapore separated from Malaysia
His sincere tears flowed …
He promised not to let everyone down
Due to political situation then he reluctantly accepted the shutdown of Nanyang University
Few can understand the pain in his heart
He vigorously developed the economy and established diplomatic relations with China
The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures combined with a strategic geographical location
The hero in later years
He fulfilled the myth of transforming a tiny village into a developed first world country
When he passed away
A beautiful sunset dawned on us
In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of him
this exhibition was in memory of him.

序言
他曾意气风发
他曾政坛叱咤
新马分家
他声泪俱下
但他承诺,不负大家
时局不稳,痛失南大
心中苦楚,谁能懂他
发展经济,建交华夏
中西合璧,四通八达
英雄迟暮
他兑现了渔村变强国的神话
当他离开
天降晚霞
百年诞辰
献上【今心】这思念的画
