iPRECIATION @ ART SG 2023 (MBS Expo Booth BC02)

The history of ink runs deep. The ink tradition is still very much alive today thanks to the precious works left behind by generations of artists that tell the story of their time. Artists such as Milenko Prvacki, Wee Shoo Leong, Huang Yuanqing and Jin Jie have created works in the Western medium infused with the spirit of ink paintings, endeavouring to break the boundaries of how one usually views Western paintings. Ju Ming, Gao Xingjian, Wang Dongling, Zhang Jian-Jun, Wang Tiande, Oh Chai Hoo, Tay Bak Chiang and Chui Pui-Chee offer a fresh take on contemporary ink painting, creating works that highlight the possibility of artistic creation rooted in traditional Chinese culture without being constrained by it. Having a solid foundation in ink practice, the artists featured here have each carved unique paths in the field by offering a refreshing angle on the aesthetics of ink with their ground-breaking works.
