Art Exhibition

Asia Art Collective presents - The Shophouse Edition: Singapore Art Treasures as an art exhibition featuring a fine collection of paintings by first and second generation Singaporean artists presented at two shophouses.

Enter the exhibition from the Figment Club House at 11 Lorong 24A Geylang, and be greeted with a curated art collection of expressive calligraphy artworks by Lim Tze Peng juxtaposed with the vibrant, boldy-expressive oil paintings by third-generation artist Zhu Hong. Next, be led to another shophouse location on the same street where the exhibition continues, and view more than forty artworks featured by seventeen prominent first and second generation artists, with works from the nineteen eighties to late 2000’s. Artists featured include Chen Wen Hsi, Cheong Soo Pieng, Wu Tsai Yen, Choo Keng Kwang, Lim Tze Peng, Chua Ek Kay, Phua Cheng Phue and others. For those who are keen to learn more about collecting Singaporean art and perhaps pick up a piece or two, this is a great opportunity to do so!

There’s no need for any pre-registration for the walk-throughs! In addition, there is a mandarin art talk by Chinese art critic Zhao Hong who’s a known figure in the community for his insightful talks and tips for art appreciation for beginners.
