Lanting Art Society Jubilant An exhibition of Small artworks

PREFACE

“Matters and circumstances may differ; but with confidence in unison, we strive…”

(An Excerpt from Eastern Jin • WangXizhi – Lanting Xu)

Lanting Art Society (LAS) has braved 33 years since its formation in 1987, under the leadership of the Founding Members and Lifetime Advisor, Mr. Wee Beng-Chong. Navigating through time and circumstances, inevitably, there were obstacles and challenges. However, the commitment in fulfilling a common goal and to excel in one’s art alignment, together with Lanting Art Society’s founding principles remain unchanged.

Since the beginning of 2020, it has been a trying period with the onslaught of the pandemic; causing disruptions to our daily lives, routines and norms. A planned exhibition for Small Artworks had to be postponed. The current 17th committee of LAS took up the challenge in fulfilling the mission set out by their predecessor.

This exhibition include artworks from LAS Lifetime Advisor, Mr. Wee Beng-Chong and 24 other members. A collection of 45 small artworks encompassing various artistic mediums and expression; with goals of overcoming small, challenging composition restrictions in presenting an artwork.

Together with all the members of Lanting Art Society, we look forward to your presence to grace this upcoming exhibition on 26 November 2020, held at the Visual Arts Centre.

President, Lanting Art Society
