Afar「自己的遠方」 A Solo Exhibition by Oh Chai Hoo

Chai Hoo Oh, Liberation of Wild Flowers, 2019, Ink and Acrylic on Paper

Afar is a solo exhibition by Singapore Contemporary Ink artist Oh Chai Hoo (b. 1960). This body of works consists of 23 latest ink paintings that resonate with Oh’s reflections on the meaning and hopefulness in life. Intrigued by the textured and uneven surface of rocks, the latest paintings demonstrate his mastery in capturing majestic mountain-scape through the use of various medium and his unique painting technique, fusing verses by Cang Yang Jia Cuo, the six Dala Lama. 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 hopes to lead viewers to his modest and genuine oasis and to join the dialogue through his paintings.

Venue: iPreciation, Singapore, 50 Cuscaden Road #01-01 HPL House

Exhibition Opens to Public: 16 Oct – 31 Oct 2020 (Due to social distancing, prior viewing arrangement is recommended. Please call  6339 0678 or email Brian at brian.foong@ipreciation.com)
