Art Book and Aerial View Painting.
Friday, 27. March 2009, 04:14:45
A friend retuned some books to me last week. One of the books was an art book: Change 20 Singapore Artists, A Decade Of Their Work. This book had been with my friends for the last 5 years.
This is a 240 page coffee-table edition featured 220 full colour plates and 21 colour portraits of the Singapore Artists. They are Teo Eng Seng, Ng Eng Teng, Thomas Yeo, Yeo Siak Goon, One Kim Seng, Ng Yak Whee, Wan Soon Kam, Prabhakara Jimmy Quek (myself), Teng Nee Cheong, Siew Hock Meng, Low Puay Hua, Leo Hee-Tong, Ghoo Keng Kwang, Lee Boon Wang, Kuan Soong, Lee Hock Moh, Tay Bak Koi, Tan Choh Tee, Foo Chee San and Ang Ah Tee.

This book was at that time an exciting volume documented the above mentioned 20 selected artists in Singapore, the book traced their development and it offered rare insight into their creative output of remarkable diversity of styles and media which was best represented the Singapore art scene in 1991.
I had a few good browses of the book since the day it was returned to me. The aerial view painting featured there reminded me of my aerial view paintings that I had painted late 80's and early 90's. Aerial View was one of the subject I loved to create at that time. (One of my Aerial View paintings titled Golden Land 1995 was collected by the Singapore Art Museum.)
I felt that I still love painting Aerial View in my heart. So without delay I worked on two small 8" x 8" empty canvases that I had. I enjoyed the play of colours that creating space and depth on the surface of the paintings. Below a photo of the paintings that I have painted this week.
