SUMMARY:Cheong Soo Pieng: Drawings
DESCRIPTION:artcommune proudly presents Cheong Soo Pieng: Drawings\, an exhibition of over 30 drawings on paper that span three decades of the artist’s career arc. Drawing was integral to Soo Pieng’s practice and many drawings made during his lifetime were fashioned into recurring forms and expressions in his oil and ink paintings. It is estimated that his drawings alone amount to around two or even three thousand works\, many of which are now in Singapore’s national collection. \n\nCheong Soo Pieng (b. 1917\, Xiamen\, China – d. 1983\, Singapore) is an important pioneer of the Nanyang art style and one of the most creative Chinese artists of the 20th century. Soo Pieng studied at Xiamen Academy of Fine Arts and furthered his education at Xinhua Academy of Fine Arts in Shanghai. After the 2nd World War\, he relocated to Singapore in 1946 to take on a teaching post at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) and thereon began his fervent amalgamation of Modern Western and Chinese pictorial styles. Often drawing inspiration from themes and subject matters relating to his new\, immediate environment in Southeast Asia\, the landmark trip to Bali in 1952 inspired Soo Pieng (and three other pioneer artists Chen Wen Hsi\, Chen Chong Swee\, Liu Kang) to reinvent groundbreaking pictorial modes culminating to the Nanyang art style. A trailblazer throughout his lifetime\, his creative output of varied styles and mediums was instrumental in shaping the early Singapore art scene. \n\nThe selection in this exhibition largely dates from the period of late-1940s-early 1960s\, which offers a glimpse into Soo Pieng’s captivating repertoire of everyday encounters on the streets of Singapore and Malaysia\, as well as his sojourns abroad at places such as Bali (1952)\, Borneo (1959) and Europe (1962-63). Also featured are drawings of Balinese scenes and figures completed by Soo Pieng during his last known visit to the island in 1977\, which captures his aesthetic shift to a highly ornate and detailed style of drawing in the later period. Together\, these drawings apprehend the interiority of Soo Pieng’s thoughts and the primacy of form in his painting process.

SUMMARY:Chng Seok Tin: Through All Vicissitudes
DESCRIPTION:ART:DIS (Singapore) Ltd and artcommune proudly present Through All Vicissitudes: Prints & Sculptures by Chng Seok Tin\, which is on view at artcommune gallery from 12 to 27 November 2022. Featuring over 30 prints and sculptures that span the period of 1976-2010s\, the exhibition traces the motivations that shaped Chng’s four decade-long creative journey and celebrates a life lived large in spite of obstacles and misfortunes. \nChng Seok Tin (b. 1946\, Singapore – d. 2019\, Singapore)\, Cultural Medallion recipient\, was a renowned printmaker\, sculptor and multi-media artist whose devoted practice to printmaking became synonymous with the Singapore printmaking development between the 1980s and 1990s. Chng’s printmaking oeuvre encompasses a variety of techniques and experiments (lithography\, etching\, engraving\, silkscreen\, woodcut\, monotype and ink transfer)\, and reflects her mediations on Zhuang Zi (庄子) and various philosophical texts. Themes of existentialism resonate strongly in her prints and sculptures\, which often dramatise man’s pursuits of dream\, love and freedom\, and the struggles towards enlightenment. At times\, wry social commentary or humorous banter permeate her imagery. \nAn accident in 1988 left Chng visually impaired. This forced her to rely on mainly dry point or mixed media method\, and the help of an assistant to continue her printmaking into the 2000s. Having earlier adopted mixed media installation and sculpture into her practice during her studies abroad in the 1980s\, she decided to focus more on these mediums beginning in the mid-90s as they afforded her a more tactile and flexible exploration of forms and materials. \nA firm believer in inspiring and building the capabilities of the younger generation\, this exhibition will also raise funds towards the CST Education Fund to support young artists with disabilities to participate in a new Industry Mentorship Programme organized by ART:DIS.

SUMMARY:Anthony Chua Say Hua the echoes and eclipses of traditions
DESCRIPTION:AC43 Gallery is pleased to present Singapore artist Anthony Chua Say Hua’s latest solo exhibition\, Anthony Chua Say Hua: The Echoes and Eclipses of Traditions. Featuring around 15 ink works completed in the period of 2015-2022\, the showcase provides audience a quick survey of Anthony Chua’s contemporary ink approach\, which experiments widely with effects of smudging\, rubbing and layering of ink\, as well as non-brush and collage techniques. The show officially opens on Friday\, 16 September 2022\, 6 – 8pm at AC43 Gallery\, with the artist in attendance. \nAnthony Chua is most known for his contemporary abstract ink renditions of local heritage shophouse scenes. His interpretations of these familiar landscapes and buildings\, such as Under the Banyan Tree and Boat Quay\, merge Chinese monochrome aesthetics and daxieyi (大写意; writing the idea) brush style with Western abstraction techniques in pure lines and shapes. \nLike the Nanyang art pioneers before him\, Anthony Chua holds sacrosanct the principle of learning from and drawing on traditions without being slavishly bound by them. Having worked with Chinese ink and rice paper for over two decades\, he constantly seeks to transcend beyond familiar techniques and conventions. His new mixed media collage\, In Search of Shangri-la\, presents an enormous euphonious network of association formed through disparate and painted paper fragments that include spliced rice paper\, newspaper\, calendar pages and even a money bill. Images are laid upon images\, just as his ink sits layered upon ink\, evoking a multi-layered continuum where time\, space and cultures collide. Amidst this Western collage approach\, his handling of materials and paints amplifies rather than diminishes the rich ink wash subtleties intrinsic to Chinese ink tradition\, revealing a work that successfully embodies an East-West fusion and the expressive potential woven from these tensions. Bold and stylised in conception\, his work invites viewers to meander through the echoes and eclipses of traditions. \n\n\n\nAnthony Chua Say Hua (b. Singapore\, 1966) is a multiple award-winning artist who has been practising full-time art since 1996. An alumnus of the Goldsmiths College\, University of London under the Chen Chong Swee Overseas Art Scholarship and former winner of the National Arts Council’s Young Artist Award (2001)\, Anthony Chua also won the Silver Award in the established artist category in the 33rd UOB Painting of the Year Competition in 2014. \nApart from experimenting with different compositional themes\, Anthony Chua is versatile in employing effects of smudging\, rubbing and layering of ink to expand on the interesting subtleties of ink wash on rice paper. The artist is also known for utilising different types of brushes and unconventional tools such as peacock feathers and squeeze bottles in his paintings.
