Art of Leo Hee Tong: Inspirations from Liu Kang and Cheong Soo Pieng

梁其栋绘画创作:刘抗与锺四宾的启发
This talk will be conducted in Chinese.

In this special session, the accomplished artist Leo Hee Tong will share his personal experiences and reflections of studying under two of Singapore’s most iconic artists—
Liu Kang, with his modern take on Chinese ink paintings, and Cheong Soo Pieng, celebrated for his fusion of Southeast Asian subjects and Western art forms. As a student of both artists, Leo offers a unique perspective on the contrasting approaches and techniques of these masters.

资深艺术家梁其栋先生将分享他在新加坡两位最具代表性的艺术家——刘抗和锺四宾门下学习的个人经历与心得。梁先生将深入讲解刘抗如何通过大胆运用色彩和抽象手法,重新定义了中国水墨画的现代面貌;同时,锺四宾如何通过将东南亚的主题与西方艺术技巧相结合,开创了艺术表达的新天地。作为两位大师的学生,梁先生将从独特的视角,探讨这两位艺术家的创作手法及其截然不同的艺术风格。
