ROOTS & WINGS art exhibition, 2-8 Dec @ ION Art Gallery


Happy to be invited to take part in the Voice of Art 5: Roots & Wings exhibition curated by Be One Gallery, with the latest artwork from my Singapore Shophouses series, Emerald Hill Shophouses inspired by a certain little nonya drama. Plus I have always wanted to paint Emerald Hill and finally got round to exploring the heritage conservation area properly, braving the crowds, tourists and all in the heart of our busy Orchard Road shopping belt :p

SPECTRUM art exhibition, 5-7 Sept @ Visual Art Centre Dhoby Ghaut Green



It's been a while, happy to participate in an exhibition at Visual Art Centre Dhoby Ghaut Green, 5-7 Sept, by Studio Fine Arts with some recent SG artworks :) 

p.s. For those in town, do drop by this serene green oasis in Orchard Road for its lovely gardens and local art activities before the area is redeveloped as I have heard there are plans. It is a lovely place with many nostalgic memories for me personally as an important part of my art journey, and a key reason for my participation.

For Charity this November..

After a beep last year this time (due to sheer exhaustion from moving house!), am getting back into my annual christmas "pilgrimage" mode. 

November is the time when gifts can be sent in time for christmas, and I can make the donation in december as a cheer for the seasons. Yes, 50% of my november sales proceeds will go to to elderly charities in my country, a personal cause of mine these few years given the inadequacy of social netting here. 

This is also my 10th christmas charity event, marking how long I have been painting and come into confidence as an artist to share my creations with the world. It has been one long journey from impressionism to expressionism, and now to exploring abstractism. Along the way, I have made many friends and met many art lovers and creators, an invaluable experience I would not have exhanged for anything in the world period.

My online shops: 
http://yenpaintings.etsy.com - 15% off all paintings
http://yen.artfire.com - use code: ART4CHARITY for 15% off

Do support the cause, and the art if you like it :)

PostScript: MERCI to all who supported the cause this November. Total contributions of S$350 (approx US$260) have been made to St. Andrew's Mission Hospital  and Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital which have been doing very excellent, patient and valuable work in taking care of our elderly that are in their good hands. 
Be merry most if not all the time, and always healthy !!

The Abstraction Journey

A post shared by Yen (@yenpaintings) on
"city tribes" + "Cs n ladders", each 40"x30", mixed media on canvas.  
losing & finding oneself again, souls in the city.


A post shared by Yen (@yenpaintings) on
"wispy", "oasis", "musings & "deep thoughts", each 24x24in, oil on canvas.  
The artworks began with 4 musical riffs, became one, and then each finding its own path.

ENSEMBLE abstract art exhibition, 19-21 July @ The Arts House


An upcoming exhibition with 7 other fellow NAFA abstract art class alumni, where we had a wonderful one year journey together under the guidance of teacher-mentor Mr Raymond Yap, who is also our curator. For this exhibition, it is yet another exciting sojourn into unexpectedness as I ventured into the world of abstractism and found myself going back to the basics of colours, shapes and lines that drew me to loving making art in the first place. Starting with something or beginning with nothing, it gets somewhere, somehow, disappears, gone and then comes back again. And that is the beauty of it all. Come discover something within you, and in us :)

Creation of DREAMembrance art series

A post shared by Yen (@yenpaintings) on
"Lau Pa Sat", 30" x 24", oil on canvas 2018.  
The place that my eyes are drawn to whenever I am in town, the Telok Ayer Market, its chinese moniker the Old Market, an archtiectural landmark haven that has always been, never mind the endless modernity sprouting around it.  
A post shared by Yen (@yenpaintings) on
"The Lost Station", 30" x 24", oil on canvas 2018 
Lost in time, literally, our beloved Tanjong Pagar Railway Station saw its last train depart from Singapore to Malaysia in 2011 and then closed in 2016 to be re-made into a new mrt station, due far away in 2025.
A post shared by Yen (@yenpaintings) on

"The Silent Dome", 30" x 24", oil on canvas 2018 
From the Supreme Court to the National Gallery, the quintessential Dome stayed intact, thankfully, a comforting presence anchoring the padang field and a silent witness to many a historic event in the ever-changing city.
A post shared by Yen (@yenpaintings) on
"Chinatown Blues", 30" x 24", oil on canvas 2018 
The black white balconies at this classy row of peranakan shophouses on a nonchalent back lane called Teck Lim Road seem to jazz and have a life of their own, nudging me to paint them. And so I did.

DREAMembrance art exhibition, 3-5 Aug @ That Spare Room


An upcoming exhibition with 2 other artists whose works I love very much. It's been a wonderful meandering journey from the coming together more than a year ago, the initial ideas, the enjoyable discourses, the brainstorming, the theme, the planning, the venue, the slow but surely coming to fruition of the exhibition, and of course the painting, the exhilaration, the sharing, the learning, and yes, now finally the last lap to d-day on 3 August. Do join us :)

DREAMembrance
journey into the wistful and wishful world between dreams and memories…

DREAMembrance presents the collective works of three artists as they explore the interplay between dreams and memories, creating a rich and colorful realm that bridges the past with the present, realities with aspirations. The artworks depict the artists’ emotive connections to places, people, objects, and experiences that transport the viewer to a deeply intimate space. 

Ong Hwee Yen offers a fresh take on local landmark scenes through a series of forget-me-not art vignettes of the place she grew up and dreamt in. Chris Lim’s paintings are a mix of reminiscences of landscapes, cityscapes, animals, and still life objects, conjuring a dream-like effect that evokes mystery, disorientation, and nostalgia. Using a semi-abstract approach, Arlyn de Jesus creates a series of social commentaries through whimsical mindscapes about living in a hyper-connected world.


EXHIBIT DETAILS:

WHERE:       That Spare Room @ The Fabulous Baker Boy, 70 River Valley Road #01-15, S 179037

MRT:            Fort Canning

Artscape Exhibition, 1-3 Dec @ SOTA

Participating in Artscape 1st edition with my fellow artists at the studio, it's gonna be fun with some over 50 artists at SOTA and over 300 artworks.   

The common thread of my paintings this round is travel. Travel in time, travel in whimsical dreams, travel to foreign lands.. wherever my brushstrokes take me.. 

"Yesteryear", a juxtaposition of the present Capitol Theatre morphing into the charming Capitol Cinema of old,

"Paper Planes", a little girl's whimsical flight of fancy at Changi airport, 

"Lanterns" and "Marina Lights", abstract depictions of the red lanterns and night lights that thread the magic at Chinatown and Marina Bay,

"Cape of Hope", "Icelandic Houses" and "Brilliance", faraway dreams of fond places remembered.. Capetown (South Africa) at dusk, Reykjavik (Iceland) in winter, and Mont Tremblant (Canada) woods in autumn.  

Sneak peek of the first painting here, visit the exhibition to see the rest :)
