Flow of Nature
By Terence teo
Teo draws inspiration for his paintings from nature, in all the richness of
the seasons. In a sense, his paintings can be considerend an expression of
his feelings and experiences in the natural environment. They are brought
across through a technique of layering ink painting he developed over
the years, which brings across the play of luminiosity and refection.
Freedom of expression is the focus; tradition the driving force. I explore
according to my response to natures sensations

O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN! OUR FEARFUL TRIP IS DONE;
THE SHIP HAS WEATHERD EVERY RACK, THE PRIZE WE SOUGHT IS WON;

WHILE FOLLOW EYES THE STEADY KEEL, THE VESSEL GRIM AND DARING:

O THE BLEEDING DROPS OF RED,

THE NANYANG CONFUCIAN
ASSOCIATION CELEBRATES
A 100 YEARS
A hundred years of legacy and therefore a hundred years of
inheritance: The Nanyang Confucian Association certainly has
a cause for celebration. Turning 100 years old this year, The
Nanyang Confucian Association is celebrating their birthday

for cultural exchange. In conjunction with their centennial
celebrations and with the support of the Federation of Art
Societies, Singapore (FASS), they will be holding a charity art
exhibition featuring over 100 pieces of works where some of
the works are featured here.
President of the FASS, Stephen Leong comments, Presently
the Federation of Art Societies, Singapore has 30 Art Societies
under its umbrella. Our members are multi-racial, multi-
religion, sharing media and cultural activities as a group
and this is in line with the eforts of the Nanyang Confucian
Association in promoting cultural exchanges. When the
Chairman of Confucianism Association Mr Kek approached us
to join them in organising this exhibition to also commemorate
their 100th year, we are very happy that the result is very
positive and judging from the current response, we believe that
the charity exhibition will generate funds for the Association,
now and in the future, allowing the Association to continue in
its charitable endeavours.

Gallery by Sky One Art Investment which showcases the works of one
of Singapores leading contemporary ink master, Tan Oe Pang (Chen
You Bing).
The marriage between culinary art and visual art was one made in
heaven and for a while now, striking works of art have been on display
at Michelin star decorated Din Tai Fung outlets throughout this little
island. The permanent display of art pieces whetted the appetite of art
lovers and piqued the curiosity of diners and this lead to the dedication
of a space in IHQ to show the wide array of works by Tan on rotation.
Gallery by Sky One Art Investment, which curates the exhibitions, is a
company that has been providing art consultancy services to private
collectors since 2001. In relation to Tan, they are responsible for the
notable artists book launch at the Singapore Art Museum, his solo
exhibition in Shanghai as well as Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taipei.

Tans works feature bold strokes of the brush loaded with ink, rendered
in (hai pai) style. The compositions are exaggerated yet the
painting is balanced. Representing Sky One Art Invesment, Mr Lee
shares more about the artist and the gallery, While many artists are
associated with and instantly recognized for one series of work, Tan is
an artist who is versatile and has showcased his techniques in more
than one series, genre and medium. He is the epitome of Chinese ink
painting and this space allows us to present such strong Chinese ink
works to a wider audience.
Indeed, Tan has demonstrated that he is adept at a variety of medium
by producing works not only in Chinese ink but also in Chinese
calligraphy, oil painting, mixed media, sculpture and poetry. His works
are intriguing and lures the viewer in because he applies the technique
of multiple perspectives (), thereby creating depth and intensity,
and almost a sense of fervor, in his compositions. The magnitude of
his creative endeavors is a culmination of years of hard work and he
earned his stripes in art by being the third generation of style,
mentored by master Wu Chang Shuo (), a prominent painter,
calligrapher and seal artist.
Tans works are an epitome of oxymoron. They are unrestrained in their
stokes yet contained within the painting. They are subtle and subdued
at times, yet exaggerated and uninhibited in others, especially in
his depictions of animals. He applies the techniques of Chinese
ink painting in his brushwork, yet incorporates ideas from Western
painting in the fnal composition.

With the exhibition space at BreadTalk IHQ, Sky One Art Investment
is able to showcase highlights from their collection and present Tans
work on a more permanent basis. Noteworthy pieces in the collection
include the huanlejiayuan <> and The Highway Series <
>. Huanlejiayuan depicts rustic houses set against a seeming
endless stretch of idyllic and picturesque view. The simple and quaint
houses are rendered only in black ink and negative space, lending a
certain charm that makes the work even more attractive. Deliberate
splattering of color throughout elevates the mood of the painting,
seducing the viewer into a dreamlike state.

In contrast, light, precise and dainty brushstokes give way to thick,
bold and stark renderings in The Highway Series. Mr Lee highlights
that it is interesting to note that while many Chinese ink artists avoid
modern references in their work, Tan is so confdant in his delivery that
he is unafraid to incorporate such a jarring subject into his work and in
doing so, dispels all notions of Chinese ink painting and raises the bar
for his peers. When viewed traditionally, the snaking highway can be
interpolated to be a snake or a dragon, animals packed with symbolism
for the Chinese. For the modern man, he immediately recognizes the
omnipresent highway that runs through our metropolitan city, a sight
that is ever so prevalent in our lion city.
Art critic and ex-Chief Editor of Art & Collection (Taiwans leading art
magazine) Xiong Yijing comments, Tan Oe Pengs art and calligraphy
connect the past with the present, and fuse the east with the west; his
depth of knowledge and profound understanding of the principles
of art, have enables his practice of and insight in art become more
penetrating and enriched. There was a line that Tan wrote, which could
best summarise his generosity and ease: Calligraphy fears pretense;
art fears artisanship. Undeniably, by transcending genre, medium and
tradition, Tan has allowed himself to become a better art practitioner,
one that is able to breathe life into his works because he does not
impose himself with preconceived notions. Ultimately, the indelible
marks he leaves behind in his art are not of the medium he chooses but
of a kind of energy he has passed on.

AN ANTHOLOGY OF
STEPHEN LEONG
CHUN HONG
36 ART: art JUL-AUG 2014 37
: on the couch
Dr. Ho Kah Leong on Stephen Leong
Mr. Leong has dedicated himself to art and art research for nearly
45 years. From 1966 until now, he has diligently cultivating the
feld of art. His commemorative art exhibition is therefore both
a congratulatory and celebratory occasion, which gives us the
opportunity and the pleasure to review his artwork over the years
up to the present. As we all know, it is difcult to be an artist, more
difcult to be a professional artist who has to provide for a family and
lead Miao Hua Chinese Art Society. One has to possess a tremendous
amount of energy and courage. I truly respect Mr. Leongs dedication
and spirit.
There are stories behind every piece of timeless art, which are both
internal and external. Internally, the artist has to endure fnancial and
psychological hardship, have his own unique insights and artistic
style and steadfastly pursue his artistic creativity. Externally, the
emotional and professional support from both family and colleagues
are vital to the artist. Collaborating, exchanging and communication
with colleagues both nationally and internationally can further
promote artistic creation. Opinions and feedback from society can
either afect positively or negatively.
As we look into Mr. Leongs art carefully, we can see the journey of
his art creation, his perseverance and his diverse style. We can also
feel soul through his art, his ability to illustrate by using multiple
mediums. In the early 70s Mr. Leong studied western art at the
Nanyang Academy of Fine Art, and before that he studied Chinese art
and calligraphy with the famous Ling Dong Jing Shi () artist
Tan Keng Chow () for six years, which laid a solid foundation
for him. Upon graduation from Nanyang, Mr. Leong went to England
to study art design. After his return to Singapore, he worked a few
years before going to teach at Nanyang Academy of Fine Art where
he nurtured many talents. He combined the characteristics of eastern
and western art into his own. And his experience transitioning
from initially studying to teaching further solidifed his professional
development. Although Mr. Leong later joined the SIA College of
Art to teach, he kept in the contact with the Nanyang Academy of
Fine Art, benefting from the positive competition between the
two institutions. Under the guidance of Brother McNally, the formal
president of the SIA College of Art, Mr. Leong gained knowledge of
contemporary western art, which clearly had a great impact on his
art, Mr. Leong went to the Royal Melbourne Technology Institute in
Australia to pursue a two-year degree with the opportunity provided
by the SIA College of Art. His study enabled him to combine the
Stephen Leong Chun Hong is as much a prolific artist as
he is a promoter of the arts. He lives his life vivaciously
and he paints with earnest, participating in numerous
exhibitions locally and abroad. As an arts advocator, he
formed the Singapore Miao Hua Chinese Art Society and
today, fills the position of President at the Federation
of Art Societies Singapore. The best way to understand
this multifaceted personality is to collect sketches of
Leong and through this collation of narrations, get
closer to unraveling his enigma.

techniques and the colors of the east and the west, embarking on a
colorful new world of his own. Mr. Leong realized that the common
truth of eastern and western art is consistent, both containing the
elements of trust and practicality.
In the last 45years, Mr. Leong has had countless individual and
collective exhibitions, which have gained him a great reputation
both nationally and internationally. Ten years ago, he created todays
Singapore Miao Hua Chinese Art Society. In the last four years, he
has also been leading the developing of the General Council of Art,
continuously nurturing the younger generation of artist. I expect that
his leadership abilities and his artistic creativity will further enhance
his art in the years to come. A true artist possesses technique, a keen
sense of judgment, and most importantly, perseverance. Mr. Leong
has them all.
Mr Seng Yu Jin (Senior Curator, The National Art Gallery, Singapore) on
Stephen Leong in The Monumentality of Lines and Dots
Both Chinese & Western art techniques rely on lines and dots; toning
of these lines and dots are the base functions of structure.
Stephen Leongs approach to art making has been shaped by the
Lingnan School initiated The Three Masters of the Lingnan School,
Gao Jianfu (1879-1951), Gao Qifeng (1889-1933) and Chen Shuren
(1883-1948), who graduated from art academies in Japan and
advocated an eclectic approach to reinvent traditional Chinese ink
painting techniques by selectively adapting painting techniques and
concepts from diverse sources such as Japans nihonga (Japanese
painting) and the School of Paris, exemplifed by Gao Qifengs
comment: I took up the study of Western art, paying particular attention
to portrait painting, light and shade, perspective, etc. I then picked
out the fnest points of Western art and applied them to my Chinese
techniques as to [sic] the masterful strokes of the pen, composition,
inking, colouring, inspiring background, poetic romance, etc. In short, I
tried to retain what was exquisite in the Chinese art of painting, and at
the same time adopt the best methods of composition which the worlds
art schools had to ofer, hereby blending the East and the West into a
harmonious whole.
Gao Jianfu went one step further by expanding the pictorial sources
for the Lingnan School globally by stating, I think we should
not only take in elements of Western painting. If there are good
points in Indian painting, Egyptian painting, Persian painting, or
masterpieces of other countries, we should embrace all of them, too,
40 ART: art JUL-AUG 2014 41

as nourishment for our Chinese painting. The desire to nourish
Chinese ink painting with ideas, techniques and painterly
methods from all possible sources to resolve problems in
painting fnds resonance in the Nanyang movement whose
forerunners were Chen Wen Hsi, Chen Chong Swee, Cheong
Soo Pieng, Georgette Chen, Lim Hak Tai and Liu Kang who
migrated to Singapore from China and synthesised pictorial
elements from the School of Paris with traditional Chinese ink
painting and cultural elements from Southeast Asia. Leongs
approach to art making bears strong attraction to both the
Lingnan School and the Nanyang artists due in part to his art
education from Nanyang artists such as Georgette Chen and
Chen Chong Swee, and Lingnan School artists. Au Ho-nien,
Wang Lui Sen and Chiang Tan Loong. Returning to Leongs
comment on dots and lines as the basis of both Chinese and
Western brush painting techniques, I will focus on Leongs
recent experimentation in his use of dots and line work
that marks new developments in his art making by critically
engaging with this group of ink paintings Leong painted in
2010 as an entry point.
The Lingnan School is characterised by the washing the
background with colours to create an atmospheric mood
that allows the artist to interpret the subject in his or her own
way, which departs from traditional Chinese ink painting
that emphasises on negative white spaces to denote the
background. There is also less emphasis on brushwork by
the Lingnan School to allow for the artist to experiment and
innovate without being circumscribed by existing painterly
conventions. Leong breaks with the conventions of the Lignan
School by ascribing primacy to brushwork in the form of
brushworks by reducing it to dots and lines as the foundation
to painting. This approach of disintegrating forms to create
new ones was explored by Leong in his 1996 solo exhibition,
Broken Character that fragmented the calligraphic characters
of happiness, sadness, anger, order and disorder to reveal the
state of catastrophe/disaster as expressed in nature. Leongs
approach of disintegrating forms to create new ones is seen in
Cambodia that fragmentises the architectural form of Angkor
Wat through his use of dots in various tones to create spatial
depth and the atmosphere of tension that slips between
the monumentality of a great civilisation and its demise as
witnessed by the ruins that now mark its passing.

Dots in traditional Chinese ink painting are conventionally used to

depict moss and cover up faws in the painting that has not been
executed well. The rule of the thumb is not to dot unnecessarily, an
anxiety deeply rooted in a partiality for line work, and a convention,
as well as attitude that Leong challenges by focusing on the dots the
heartbeat of this painting. Leong uses a variety of tones to layer and
capture the gravitas of the monument. Darker tones populate the
foreground while lighter tones pack the background. Dot of various
hues of brown, grey and blue glue the entire structure together as the
immense architectural form is fragmented into dots and reconfgured
together. A variety of dots such as the dark square-shaped dots give
structural integrity to the monument white the lighter toned and
mixed coloured dots give texture and character. A collection of dots
populating near the central tree in the mid ground of the painting
forms the fulcrum that anchors the composition of the entire picture.
Leongs familiarity with the properties of ink is shown in how he
physically controls his strength while manipulating his paint brush as
his brush meets paper in the process of executing the dots.
The density of dots packed together to give solidity to form
dominates all the spaces in the picture without a concern for another
anxiety in traditional Chinese ink painting - a need for negative white
spaces in a painting. In many Southeast Asian pictorial traditions,
there exists a counterpoint to traditional Chinese ink paintings
preference for negative spaces scholars refer to as the fear of empty
spaces. Leong also drags the dots to produce short lines that are
really dots extended in diferent tonalities. The overlapping of
horizontal and vertical extended dots create a grid-like structure
that forms an Foucauldian archaeology or scafolding of power that
is softened by the clusters of plants on both sides of the picture
that frames it. The clusters of plants and trees show a variety of
brushstrokes such as combining the dry rubbing of the parched
brush to depict the stems and a heavily watered brush to given form
to its leaves in the cluster of plants on the right.
Such experimentations in painting are needed and indeed, even
essential for any artist to push the boundaries of his or her art
making. This is the path that Leong has dedicated himself, best
expressed in his own words: I feel that if artists can change, with time,
with mindset, there is the probability for a great artist to be born.

artist :
In life, we are on a journey.
Where we go depends on our
choices. Laila visualizes this
concept through Abstraction.
Her technique itself refects
Lifes path, planned but open
to changes. Laila enjoys
waiting for the painting to
speak to her. After which,
Laila and the painting work
together to convey the
message to the audience.

Born in China and
graduated with a Bachelor
of Architecture, Zhu Hong
has established himself as a
watercolor artist and more
recently, a digital artist via a
touchscreen mobile phone.
He has exhibited in several
solo exhibitions in Shanghai,
Beijing and Singapore and
has met with enough popular
acclaim to publish 3 volumes
of art books.
His canvas is his Samsung
touchscreen phone and his
inspiration, the vibrant street
scape of Singapore. Bold
vibrant strokes pop out from
the screen, rendered onto
more traditional mediums
such as canvas and paper,
enhance visual enjoyment.
The digital paintings also
give a unique peek into
the artists background as
a watercolor painter, with
its free-fowing strokes and
watery color gradations.
Ang Ah Tee is born in
Singapore in 1943 and
graduated from the
distinguished Nanyang
Academy of Fine Arts in 1962.
Traveling across continents,
he did a series of sketching,
painting expeditions. His
style of painting evolves
from time to time but is
always characterized by
his random brush strokes
and forceful palette knife
technique which he applies
speedily and instinctively.
Unwittingly, he had mounted
on an awe-inspiring personal
odyssey.
His semi-abstraction in
expression of art form in
recent years has entered a
new era; that of combining
western elements with
chinese ink strokes.

Art opens up my mind and
is a from of expressing my
thoughts, feelings and
emotions. Art means freedom
to me, a link between my
illusions and reality. Drawing
makes me happy, calm and
comfortable.
Stephen Leong Chun Hong
graduated with
Master Degree in Fine Arts
from the RMIT University,
Melbourne, Australia. He
was awarded the Highly
Distinguished Artist Award
Medal by the World Artists
Association in Hong Kong
(2004) and won the merit
award in the Asia Invitation
Art Exhibition in Seoul
(2003) organised by the
Korea Culture Art Research
Institute and Dr Tan Tsze Chor
Chinese Painting Distinction
Award organised by the
Singapore Art Society. Chun
Hong also attained the First
prize in Chinese painting
in the UOB Painting of the
Year competition (1994) and
participated in numerous
overseas exhibitions.
I fell immediately in love
with Bali in the late 80s. The
colours and rich history
all packed on this one tiny
island. Everything was
incredibly visual and I have
never been able to let go.
From here, Yulin became
fascinated by the Traditional
Balinese paintings which
typically depict scenes from
Hindu mythology. Immersing
herself into these fne arts,
she began to develop a
passion for this discipline
steeped in ancient tradition.
Drawing on the benevolent
traditions of her adoptive
home, a series of intricate
techniques are used to give
the paintings a sense of life.
Scenes from village life as
unique, minutely rendered
works of art are rendered in
oil, acrylic or pencil, evoking
the Balinese spirit.

art - international :
BluuContemporary represents
a wide range of Malaysian
artists, ranging from
established, to young, up
and coming contemporary
talents. The focus of this
gallery is to promote, nurture
and stable their represented
artists, so that they gain
both local and international
recognition, and to educate
collectors about the art
they are collecting from an
aesthetic and investment
angle. The gallery hosts
three to six art exhibitions
a year internationally or
locally showcasing a variety
of works from surrealism,
expressionism, sculptures and
installation art.
The gallery is very selective
about the works and artists it
represents to provide quality
works that have the potential
to appreciate in value over
the years.
City Art Gallery has 38 years
of experience in the art
business and is run by the
husband-and-wife team of
Vincent Sim Tiak Choo and
Mary Tang. The gallery started
of selling Chinese brush
paintings from China and
Malaysia before expanding
to modern paintings by
Malaysian and foreign artists.
Many dedicated local artists
have had their frst solos here.
Lua Gallery specializes in
young contemporary &
unconventional non-
mainstream art which is
often mysterious, puzzling,
ambiguous and even
idiosyncratic - the one that
we are not used to seeing
from art. These include
abstract art, naive art,
cartoonish art, outsider
art which is self- taught in
nature. It is our pivotal role
in realizing and recognizing
tremendous artistic potential
and talents of young people.
Mizuma Art Gallery opened
in 1994. Since then we are
introducing mainly Japanese
and Asian artists whose
works arent caught in the
current styleand who are
with unique sensibilities, to
the international art scene,
and many of them are now
internationally recognized.
We start organizing
exhibitions of Western artists
who are new to Japanese
audiences in recent years.
Since the year 2000, Mizuma
Art Gallery has been
constantly participating in the
international art fairs such as
ARCO (Madrid), Armory Show
(New York), Frieze (London),
FIAC (Paris), and Basel Miami
(Miami).
We hope to contribute to
further development of
Japanese contemporary art
scene.
