Singapore Art Takes Centrestage at SBin Art Plus
Singapore.- SBin Art Plus pays tribute to Singapore, with a showcase of 10 prominent artists, whose pioneering efforts in the local art scene have paved the way for the development and appreciation of home grown artistic talent.
Selected Singapore Master Artists celebrates the vibrancy of Singapore’s art frontier years with a selection of works by key Singapore master artists – Georgette Chen, Choo Keng Kwang, Low Puay Hwa, Ong Kim Seng, Siew Hock Meng, Teng Nee Cheong, Chen Wen Hsi, Lim Cheng Hoe, Chen Chong Swee and Ang Ah Tee – whose unique takes on the subtle realities of life have given rise to modern art as we know it today.
Showcasing artistic legacies from the 1960s, that still continue to resonate today with their integration of Chinese and Western elements in both technique and medium – from the avant-garde Chinese paintings of Chen Wen Hsi to the definitive watercolour works by Lim Cheng Hoe – Selected Singapore Master Artists brings together the spectacular synergies of these artistic masters in a creative exuberance of colours, hues and strokes that reminds viewers of the beauty in our everyday lives.
With its display of more than 30 artworks including oil on canvas, watercolour on paper as well as sculpture, SBin Art Plus’ mission is to promote local and regional appreciation of definitive Singapore art to the discerning art collector.
Selected Singapore Master Artists runs from 30 July through to 29 August. The gallery is open from 11.00 am to 7.00 pm from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11.00 am to 5.00 pm on Sundays and public holidays and is closed on Mondays. The exhibition is held at SBin Art Plus at 140 Hill St. MICA Building #01-10/11/12 Singapore 179369. Contact number: 6883 2001. http://www.sbinartplus.com.
