2024 MULCIP Art 6th Exhibition Synopsis
15 June to 17 June 2018
Me and My Dogs is Leonard Wong’s debut solo exhibition. A self-taught Singaporean artist, Leonard uses pastels to depict dogs. His unique artistic style is a culmination of influences from Salvador Dali and Edward Hopper, as well as from his imagination and fondness for dogs. This has resulted in a mix of realism, surrealism and symbolism, evident in the artworks.
The artist finds the affectionate and playful nature of dogs heartwarming, and sees art as a way to capture memories of his own dogs as well as to express his love for them. His dedication has thus led him to explore different ways of painting, in order to depict the bond shared between him and his dogs.
The artworks on display will be on sale, all proceeds will go to animal shelters affected by the move to Sungei Tengah, as well as other independent animal caretakers.

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
