PARALLEL LIVES Synopsis Is a twin
8 April to 22 April 2016
This exhibition runs from 8 April – 22 April 2016, from 11am – 9pm daily, at Visual Arts Centre.
“Memoirs of City Port Scenes”, organised by Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, aims to preserve today’s images of our ports before they eventually disappear from our city landscapes. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore has collaborated with artists from the Singapore Watercolour Society, students from the Pathlight School as well as renowned artist Mr Ong Kim Seng on artworks which are showcased at the exhibition. Our shipyards and lighthouses are not forgotten as they too form an important component of Maritime Singapore. This exhibition features a total of 54 artworks by artists from Singapore Watercolour Society, students from the Pathlight School, and a special series of watercolour paintings by renowned local artist Ong Kim Seng.

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.
