《未央》
尤东暐书画篆刻个展
听过好听的曲子,方知何谓余音绕梁;
悠闲地品一口好茶,才能感受到沁人心脾;
静看落霞与孤鹜齐飞,秋水共长天一色,方能体会什么叫流连忘返。这种余韵未尽的悠远情感,
古人把它称之为“未央”。
《诗经 。小雅。庭燎》:“夜如何其?夜未央。”
《老子》:“荒兮其未央哉!”;王弼注说:”叹与世俗相反之远也。“
前者指夜晚未到尽头;老子则指精神辽阔广远,无有穷尽。
东暐习书画印多年,临近不惑,愈能体会未央之意,是以首次个展命曰《未央》。
UNCEASING
A Chinese calligraphy, painting, and seal carving
solo exhibition by Dr. Yew Tong Wei
‘How goes the night? It is unceasing.’ – The Shijing (Classic of Poetry)
A melody captivates the listener for days; the taste of tea lingers on the tongue. A vision of the
heavens and waters dancing in endless convergence enthrals the watching wanderer. The
ancients had long recognised that human response to stimuli reverberates long after the first
contact. Mesmerised by these experiences, the ancients lost themselves in reveries and
meditations, in what they term the ‘unceasing’.
‘How boundless and unceasing (is the Dao)!’ – Laozi, Daodejing
The unceasing is without boundaries; it ventures far beyond horizons and transcends mortal
realms. Our response to art’s beauty is an unceasing captivation that propels our imagination to
unthinkable heights.
Tong Wei has been enraptured by the same unceasing beauty, and has thus spent many years
expressing it in calligraphy, painting, and seal carving. Yet, he recognises that his artistic journey
is, with no small irony, winding through an also unceasing path. Like the fabled night of the
Shijing, his art is unending, and we only have more to look forward to. He hopes that this
exhibition would convey his unceasing love for his art; hence, there can be no better title for the
exhibition than ‘Unceasing’.
Dr. Yew Tong Wei (B. 1980)
Tong Wei straddles the line between science and art – a physician specialising in diabetes and
endocrinology on one hand, and a promising artist in Chinese calligraphy, painting, and seal
carving on the other.
Tong Wei started learning Chinese calligraphy since the age of 7, first from his father, and
later on refined his skills and learnt seal carving under the tutelage of Master Ha Chan Kee in
Kuala Lumpur. He also drew much inspiration from his encounters with his grandteacher,
Master Dai Lancun in Taipei. He frequently infuses his works with refreshing modern touches
while maintaining elegance and classical eminence stemming from the traditional qualities of
Chinese art. He is particularly meticulous in his selection of paper, brush, ink, seals and
mounting, all of which enhance the finesse of his works.
His works have been displayed in over 40 exhibitions locally and internationally, including at
the prestigious National Art Museum of China, Beijing, and the University of Cambridge,
England. An eloquent speaker, he has delivered lectures and media interviews across
Singapore and Malaysia, with an emphasis on cultivating greater appreciation of the arts.
He was accorded the Dr. Tan Tsze Chor distinction award in Chinese calligraphy in 2016, and
was one of the youngest to be recognised with an invitation to be an Honorary Councillor for
the Chinese Calligraphy Society of Singapore the following year. He serves as the secretary
for Siaw-Tao Chinese Seal-Carving, Calligraphy and Painting Society, Singapore.
