Unlike his previous black and white ink paintings, these soft earthy tones works were inspired by the stones and gurgling water found in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve nearby his home, the signs of times and traces of the past and the imperfection. Oh Chai Hoo hopes to lead viewers to his modest and genuine oasis and to join the dialogue through his paintings.
