Editor's Note
Singapore’s creative pulse beats at an energetic pace, bringing frequent waves of fresh air and new impulses. While for TS Eliot April might have been “the cruellest month”, here April’s arts calendar rather presents an enticing range of delights and pleasures. This month sees a number of special events, including exhibitions from two notable contemporary artists to watch out for.On 1st April, Sky One Art Gallery will open an exhibition of the calligraphy work of acclaimed Singaporean artist Tan Oe Pang. Throughout his notable career, Tan has extensively explored various Chinese ink techniques, from calligraphy to landscape painting, and though a master of the traditional form and style, he draws his major inspiration from the interplay between past and present, tradition and modernity. Tan’s visionary approach to this most ancient and highly regarded of Chinese arts is not to be missed.Rooted in quite another world and time, the work of Spanish artist Monica Dixon reflects on the themes of humanity and
belonging within the spatial manifestations of the modern condition. On 10th April, Barnadas Huang gallery will present ‘A Universal Truth’, Dixon’s eagerly anticipated first solo show in Singapore. The multiple prize winning Dixon has earned quite an international reputation for her desolate landscapes and lonely, bare interiors, rendered in meticulous detail and with a studied use of light, which present the viewer with ambiguous and deceptively simple scenarios that are both familiar and yet eerily alien. And that’s just two of the highlights! With so much going on, it’s hard to keep up. That’s why SAGG is dedicated to bringing you the latest info, here in our handy guide and on our website (sagg.info), so that you can get the most out of what Singapore has to offer. We wish you an inspiring month!

"Calligraphy may well be simply an artistic version of another form, that is the ideograms which make up the poem, but then not only does it reflect the character and temperament of the artist but … also betrays his heart rate, his breathing.”

More than 2,000 years ago, Yang Xiong, the famous Han Dynasty Confucian scholar, defined calligraphy as the ventilation of the heart’s depths. The form, the handling of the brush, the presentation and style mean that calligraphy as a work of art is universally regarded in China as having the greatest power to reveal the moral integrity, character, emotions, aesthetics and culture of the artist.
This April, Sky One Art Gallery presents a new exhibition of the calligraphy work of acclaimed Singaporean artist Tan Oe Pang, whose extensive exploration of Chinese ink techniques, from calligraphy to landscapes, from the traditional to the daringly contemporary, mark him out as a visionary local artist without parallel.
Tan Oe Pang’s calligraphy gracefully inherits many centuries of tradition, while bringing it boldly into the present. His brushstrokes are often heavily imbued with recognisable traces of particular styles or forms, yet in his use of faint ink and dry strokes, the way in which he applies pressure or lifts the brush at the start and end of strokes, enlivens his characters with flourishes of modernity.
In traditional China, calligraphy – the art of writing – was the most highly prized of all visual art forms. Indeed, while painting and calligraphy emerged at the same time and shared the same tools – brush and ink – calligraphy was revered as a fine art long

before painting. The high status of calligraphy reflects the importance of the word in traditional Chinese culture. But what makes Chinese written language so distinctive is its visual form, with each word represented by its own unique character.
It is said that Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese writing, was inspired by seeing animal footprints and bird claw marks on the sand, based on which he developed simplified, easily recognizable images to denote single words. In calligraphy practice, these symbols convey
more than phonetic sound or semantic meaning; the very way in which a character is rendered with brush and ink offers numerous connotations and readings, and reflects metaphors of human traits and natural elements.
As the 7th century writer Sun Guoting observed, “[In calligraphy] I have seen the wonder of a drop of dew glistening from a dangling needle, a shower of rock hailing down in a raging thunder, a flock of geese gliding, frantic beasts stampeding in terror, a phoenix dancing, a startled snake slithering away in fright”.
Another facet that explains the significance of calligraphy is the existence of recognisable traditions or styles, alongside the calligrapher’s own distinct personal touch. The calligrapher must

learn the choreographed movements of the characters and maintain compositional order, but once he has internalised these rules he is free to truly express himself. As abstract as it may at first seem to an untrained eye, calligraphy conveys emotion and the individual artist perhaps more intensely than all other Chinese visual arts.
When during the Song Dynasty and leading into the early 20th
century the practices of calligraphy, poetry and ink painting became intertwined, this trinity of expression became known as the ‘three perfections’. It is no wonder then that during the end of the 19th
and early 20th centuries, the abstract linear art of “calligraphic expressionism” would appear in the western art scene, and inspire many American abstract expressionists, including Jackson Pollock.
World renowned Chinese abstract artist Zhu Dequn has testified to the fact that the themes of the solid and the void, and the musical melody in abstract art, are derived from the intension of Chinese calligraphy. However, it may also be argued that western artists who draw from the essence of Chinese calligraphy only manage to take in its linear beauty. Chinese artists, on the other hand, have been able to nurture the inner strata of artistic creation because of their connection with the culture and philosophical thinking that informs calligraphy.
Tan Oe Pang is a highly accomplished calligraphy artist, whose mastery and innovation make the exhibition at Sky One Art Gallery particularly rewarding. While undeniably contemporary, his calligraphic art nevertheless contains much of the quintessence of ancient Chinese philosophy.
Tan’s regular script may be broadly categorised into two types. One category is simple and antiquated, attractive and pure, indicative of Jin and Tang styles, yet unrestrained by the brush and ink, appearing to have inherited more of the original flair of silk and wooden strip inscriptions. The other category is an innovation that departs completely from the shape of the characters, with the predominant subject matter being Buddhist teachings. In these works, the depths and intrinsic qualities of Chinese philosophy are emancipated from the words through the two-dimensionality of calligraphy into a spatial rendering, paving a new way for Chinese calligraphic art into modernity.

When is a house in a field not just a house in a field? When it comprises the main subject of a luminous painting by Mónica Dixon, whose deceptively simple but metaphysical paintings have developed a cult-like following in Asia. Represented exclusively in Asia by Barnadas Huang, her works have commanded attention after selling out at showings at art fairs in Hong Kong and Singapore.
LOST IN TIMEThe world stands still

Monica Dixon, Rock Hill, SC., 100 x 150 cm, Acrylic on Canvas, 2015
Born in 1971 in New Jersey, USA, Dixon received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rutgers University in 1997. Drawing inspiration from landscapes that evoke the works of Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper, Dixon’s mysterious houses sit calmly on vast plains and at the brink of interstate highways, with clean and crisp horizons depicting different times of the day. As a counterpoint, her interiors present desolate staircases and hallways, reminding the viewer that it is the individual that makes a home, and not the other way round.
But what separates her work is how her paintings take on an enigmatic and contemplative air. Indeed, Dixon infuses them with emotions, thoughts and energy that are almost tangible to the viewer, suggesting an artist who is trying to find her roots by discerning the ingredients that differentiate a house from a home.
“Mónica’s works are highly charged with energy despite their simplicity,” explains Loh Weiren, gallery director of Barnadas Huang.

“What stands out is her understanding and representation of light. It infuses and seeps through spaces, creating form in the manner of its presence or absence.”
Rachel Chin, art consultant at Barnadas Huang, elaborates on the poignancy of the works, “In this exhibition, the unifying is how Mónica transforms the familiar into the unfamiliar, highlighting the house as a vessel for our distinct identities against our need for shelter. Through this, the viewer is invited to consider their understanding of what a home is and means, and how we as individuals shape the spaces we inhabit.”
Dixon’s first solo exhibition in Asia debuted at Art Central in Hong Kong in March 2015 before coming to Singapore, where the exhibition will run from April 11th to June 10th, 2015.

In preparation for
The Enlightened OneImages of Gautama Buddha in Contemporary Art
Written by Vidhya Gnana Gouresan
One can encounter many buddhas. However, there is only one Gautama Buddha. In the same spirit, there may be many exhibitions in a year, but only one Gnani Arts blockbuster exhibition.
Gnani Arts, in an absolutely positive spirit, is all set and ready to present its blockbuster exhibition of the year – ‘The Enlightened One: Images of Gautama Buddha in Contemporary Art’. Under my curation, it has been scheduled to be staged at the ION Art Gallery (Singapore) from 18 to 24 May 2015. This significant showcase celebrates an irrefutably powerful anthropomorphic representation of a subject that entails great art historical emphasis and that embodies an international reputation for its profound metaphorical and philosophical symbolism.
The dynamic team of artists for this exhibition has been provided with the intriguing option of personalising and/or localising the image of Gautama Buddha, within an informed context that is visually-legitimate, in view of the pre-conceived notions of the visual representation of the image. With a conscious sincerity towards the curatorial trajectory, every artist of the exhibition has been urged to pursue an 'inner' research. As a creative being, the artist contextualises and formulates every artwork of the exhibition. The devoted participation of the artist is never to be underrated as the artist is absolutely valuable and is of utmost importance, as he/she plays an integral role in establishing a deliberately-individualised, artist-specific manifestation of my curatorial and conceptual intention. The artist thinks. The artist feels. The artist re-creates the image of Gautama Buddha and attempts to realise what it conveys to him/her, as the artist senses the pulse of the image, beyond its inevitable historical, religious, sociological and geographical connotations. Technique is imperative, no doubt. But narrative is as important. And so, the artist endows his/her image of Gautama Buddha with a story that will effortlessly engage the viewer, a salient but silent story that beams with the joy and challenge of embracing the subjective degrees of reverberating appreciation on the viewer’s part.
The principle collection of the exhibition will feature paintings by senior and emerging artists from Singapore, Cambodia, India and

Get ready for 18 May 2015, to celebrate the many personalisations and localisations of one single image that assertively represents the Buddhist universe within the acceptable dichotomy of the sacred and the secular.

Yeo Siak Goon, The Rocking Chair, 2012, 120 x 100 cm
Singapore Art Gallery Guide20
Known for his newest style of acrylic paintings of tropical islands and gentle nude figures, The Art Fellas' exclusive artist Yeo Siak Goon is introducing limited edition prints of artist-selected works.
Born in Malaysia in 1957, Yeo moved to Singapore when he was 14 years old to study art, and has since resided here. Yeo has developed his own unique style which sets him apart from other artists of his generation.
The tranquil aqua-toned beaches in Yeo’s paintings herald back to a simple childhood in Malaysia. The bareness of the supple female bodies allows them to ease inconspicuously into the natural surroundings, flanked by large palm trees and carved wooden banisters. Working with tropical hues of orange and gold, Yeo highlights every graceful curve and crevice, showcasing his understanding of his environment and the female body. The serene scenes draw onlookers onto the shaded beach fronts of the tropical island, stirring a longing in them to shed their inhibitions and shake off the restraints of the chaotic city life to get back in touch with nature.
Besides Yeo Siak Goon’s recent solo exhibition “the affair” with The Art Fellas in February, he has had three other solo shows and has represented Singapore in several exhibitions overseas in China, Japan, Korea, France and New York. He has received three Tan Tsze Chor Awards as well as the First Prize in UOB’s Painting of the Year competition. Yeo’s works are collected by the National Gallery Singapore; ARMA Museum, Bali; Four Seasons Hotel, Chicago, USA; United Overseas Bank; International Enterprise Singapore; IBM Singapore; American Club; Cathay Organization; Pontiac Land; Capella Singapore and many local and overseas collectors.
An esteemed artist with a distinct individual style, Yeo’s introduction of limited edition prints for artist-selected works will appeal to many new and seasoned collectors alike.

A firm believer of borderless art, Entang Wiharso creates provocative works that speak volumes about the universal issues of power, dreams, loss and love – exploring broad catagories of ideology, philosophy and identity through ancient narrative tools and contemporary materials.
Instantly recognisable, his visual vocabulary of distorted human figures interconnected by tongues, tails and intestines, masterfully weaves concepts with social commentary and personal reflections, delivering a most raw and compelling representation of the world and humanity as he sees it.
At STPI, Entang translates his large-scale fantastical prose in the realm of print – reinvigorating methods by incorporating alternative materials like wires and nails in the print and papermaking process. Having discovered the possibilities of the multifaceted medium, the artist has also embarked on a different trajectory, producing artworks that explore strong socio-political concerns and the idea of borders, division and differences in new forms that employ acrylic and paper pulp – both never before seen in the artist’s oeuvre.
As one of Indonesia’s most active artist today, Entang has participated in Art Stage Singapore (2014), the 55th Venice

A TRAVELLER’S REVERIE: Photographic Memories of Afghanistan’s Past is a unique photographic exhibition of Afghanistan and its people from 1925 to 1934, when the country opened up to the outside world and saw foreign influence for the very first time.
Curated and designed by Olivier Rolland, the 32 black- and- white images and 50 stereoscopic or 3D pictures show landscapes and Afghan people in their everyday lives, in souks, villages and the countryside.
A significant part of the exhibition is dedicated to the viewing of authentic 3-dimensional pictures of a past age. It is little known how popular and widespread the art of 3D was before 1930. Especially for the
exhibition, the stereoscopics or 3D pictures have been processed from the scans of the original photographic glass plates.
“The technique makes the pictures all the more vivid and moving. And acts as a crystal ball. There is a stark contrast between the immediacy and intimacy of these close views of people you can almost touch, and the unmistakable feeling that this is a bygone era, never to be seen again.” says Mr Rolland.
The Exhibition offers views of contemporary events, and highlights the epic of the first archaeological research and excavations, that unveiled the rich and complex historical layers of this land.

“The purpose of this exhibition is to share with visitors a glimpse of a unique and special distant culture. This window on Afghanistan’s past was opened to me as a child when I stumbled upon a treasure trove of pictures taken by my grand- father, Albert Léon, almost a century ago.” Olivier Rolland

Hugging the Shore is the first major solo exhibition in Southeast Asia of Singapore born artist Simryn Gill, who currently lives and works in Australia and Malaysia. Simryn Gill’s artistic practice carries a sensitivity towards the everyday and unpacks the complexities of our world from various angles and subjectivities. Much of her work results from a process of sifting through and exploring her immediate surroundings in acts of collecting, writing, reading, archiving or photographing.

The exhibition brings together a large body of works that reveal the artist’s specific attitude towards ways of seeing and understanding the world around us. The photography series is the result of a durational process, of hours of looking, wandering and collecting, translated into hundreds and hundreds of photographs.
Standing Still (2000-03) captures a large number of ambitious building projects across Malaysia abandoned before completion in the wake of the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, instigating a reflection on modern ruins and historical layers that define our landscape.
The series Dalam (2001) comprises 260 photographs of living rooms taken across West Malaysia over a three month period. Dalam, which means ‘indoors’ in the Malay language, looks into

the production of interior space as a portrayal of ourselves but also the fragile relation between host and guest, the conventions and boundaries that define the delicate realm of hospitality.
May 2006 (2006) is an ambitious body of work consisting of 800photographs that traces a one-month journey by foot in the
artist’s neighbourhood in Sydney. The work is paradigmatic of Simryn Gill’s approach in “understanding the place as a verb rather than as a noun, which exists in our doings: walking, talking, living”.
Simryn Gill’s new work, Like Leaves (Syzygium grandis) uses leaves from the Syzygium grande species of tree, or the Sea Apple Tree which is found throughout the coastal areas in parts of Southeast Asia. Presented as pinned leaves, the work draws attention to surface, material, its process of making, but also the lifespan of the work which gradually perishes throughout the exhibition time.
The metaphor of Hugging the Shore, a reference to John Updike’s 1983 collection of essays and reviews, can be conceived as a way of seeing and approaching the world that traverses throughout Simryn Gill's large group of works. It is an act of stepping back, as a way to allow ourselves to be absorbed into the overall picture.

Zhang Linhai “SandBox Series”
news
Born in Shanghai in 1963, Zhang Linhai had a troubled childhood. Abandoned in an orphanage as a baby, he was adopted by a poor rural couple at the age of one, and was relocated to an impoverished village near the Tai Hang Mountains.
Though taken into a loving family, Zhang LinHai suffered from numerous illnesses as a child, including polio, which left him crippled. Encountering a legion of setbacks and defying all odds set against him as an indigent farmer’s son, Zhang LinHai finally graduated from TianJin Academy of Fine Arts in 1990. Since then he was set to become one of China’s most highly regarded painters, converting the bitter irony of his life into the genius of his art.
Zhang LinHai’s work delicately tiptoes the line between realism and surrealism, and produces a potent narrative that captures the turbulence of the Cultural Revolution in China. Directly inspired by the tragedy of his childhoods, the poverty he grew up in, and the physical disability he endured, his artworks create an illusionary world through which he finds salvation. The works articulate a myriad of emotions, sadness, fear, desolation and alienation. However, his signature motif of a bold young boy has an ethereal quality, personifying his dreams of freedom, a tribute to his continual perseverance in life. In some of his more recent works, the child is no longer the hero, instead replaced by an emblematic animal, composing a poetic introspective triggered by his dystopian view of society. Purely personal and highly politically charged, Zhang LinHai’s work is a hauntingly beautiful commentary of the struggles of inequality, poverty and loneliness, woven in with a strange feeling of nostalgia.

AFTER UTOPIA examines humanity’s eternal yearning for a better world. Pivoting on ideas about ideals and principles, the exhibition comprises iconic works of Southeast Asian and Asian contemporary art drawn from SAM’s permanent collection, as well as private collections and new commissions.
The exhibition unfolds in four chapters, the first of which examines the imagery of the garden as a metaphor – both for an Edenic paradise lost as well as one that has been found, reimagined and re-imaged as a romanticised ‘Other’. The second turns the eye on the structures we inhabit and the way we live, simultaneously reminding us of modern architecture and urban planning’s utopian impulse and how these ideals have fallen short when translated into reality. Ideologies that have left an indelible mark on the last century and on which societies and nations have been built are examined in the third chapter. Finally, we are reminded that ‘utopia’ (from its Greek roots) also means ‘no-place’ and is an idealised world that can exist nowhere except, perhaps, within ourselves.

Blurred Visions
‘Place of Memories, Cities’ showcases various reinterpretations of cities from Daeho Guk’s travels. The artist takes photographs of unfamiliar places – snapshots of accidental and ordinary moments in everyday life – and subjectively recreates them in his studio.
Skillfully utilizing the dual nature of photographs in his paintings, Guk takes the memory of the places he visited as a foreigner and transfers them onto the canvas. Cities are depicted beyond appearances, and evoke the illusion of places the viewer has visited. Stemming from the artist’s appreciation for the camera’s “blurry effect” or “bokeh”, the out of focus areas exist in the shape of “light drops”, featuring various landscapes in oil paint.

New Silk RoadsPainting Beyond Borders
The exhibition’s main theme is the Silk Road or roads, the great network of overland and maritime highways connecting East Asia – through Central Asia – and Europe, since the 3rd century BC. While building on the notion of the roads as conduits for exchange, the exhibition will introduce a fresh perspective by focusing on the modern artistic culture of the Central Asian region.
The showcase includes over thirty paintings, depicting subjects ranging from metaphorical landscapes, psychological states, traditional symbols, and abstract and semi-abstract compositions to portraits, highlighting the sophisticated breadth and depth of post-Soviet Central Asian painting.
This art emerged from newly independent nation-states built upon much older traditional societies, as they

deal with the challenges and advantages of ongoing shifts in cultural, spiritual, economic and geopolitical realities.
Among the four artists who present their work are cultural medalists, whose artworks belong to national museums and international private collections. Given the eminence of the artists in their own countries, many of their works to be included in New Silk Roads will be unavailable for overseas ownership in time to come as they are upgraded to the status of national treasures.
Also presented in the exhibition are paintings by the up-and-coming Singapore-based Serbian artist Filip Gudovic, who, like a true maritime Silk Road explorer, has sojourned in Southeast Asia for over a decade.
The exhibition is presented by ENE Gallery, whose mission is to make Central Asian art accessible.

A Universal Truth by Mónica Dixon. Space, to Mónica Dixon, is a presence and an absence. It is also an instrument she wields
with skilful precision to challenge our ideas and perception of our individual identities. In “A Universal Truth”, Mónica explores the dichotomy between what we are and who we are. To do so, she takes a series of deceptively simple images and forces us to consider the division between the physical spaces of house – a structure we take for granted – and the social construct of a home. 11 Apr – 10 May

Ben is Ben, is Ben is Ben: a solo exhibition by Ben Puah. The secret harmony of disharmony: Ben does not seek to create
the sophistries of reasonable images but what is torturously behind thought, the stirring live quality of ambiguity. He works in direct connection to the deepest vital substratum, a quickening pulse pushing him into action. He is only responsive to his here and now.
For this exhibition, Flaneur Gallery presents 5 paintings and 2 sculptures by Ben Puah. Not unlike his peers, Ben adopts appropriation as a nexus of operation. In this series of paintings executed in 2014, he alludes to the impact of mass entertainment television diet of the 1990s – involving Hong Kong wuxia and drama serials, Chinese legends and folklores. 02 – 12 Apr, Opening Reception: 02 Apr, 7pm
Light Breaks (Where No Sun Shines): a solo exhibition by Vincent Chow. Art is often about grappling with working with the unknown. We are often unsure of what lies dormant or inert within us, and it takes a certain kind
of substance, also unbeknownst to us, that causes us to move and be duly moved.
Vincent Chow’s paintings look to capture that tidal shift in our emotions, in search for the push and pull of both artistic dilemma and affirmation. Paying heed to the artist’s inclinations and employing subtle, suggestive expressions that guide rather than announce to evoke the viewer, Chow taps into the innate nature of an artist’s hand to achieve a complementary balance that is primitive and sensitively abstract. 16 – 26 Apr, Opening Reception: 16 Apr, 7pm

For this purpose, the artist chose his own ancestry – Bugis of Makkasar – as the Bugis warlords were one of the most sophisticated ship builders, and chose the Phinisi boat – which combines the design of a fishing boat and a warring ship – as his inspiration. He envisaged a 7th century world where ships were vessels seeking power, fortune and magic power, each vessel a house of knowledge and a dungeon of death and torture. Till 19 Apr

Fantastic Voyage – Solo Exhibition by Yen Phang. Painting takes us on a journey through space and time; the paintings of
Yen Phang take us deeper into the fantastic voyage of the human anatomy. Inspired by the 1966 movie and Isaac Asimov’s book of the same name, Phang’s new series of paintings takes us in to explore the physiological structure and psychological subterrain of the body.
This is Phang’s last exhibition before his voyage to the chilly terrains of Canadian winter. This leave of absence from the tropics allows the body and the mind to rejuvenate, just as Phang is asking his audience to step back and take stock of our physical and mental states. 28 Mar – 10 Apr
