“(Re)discovering Shui Tit Sing” is a landmark retrospective that reintroduces the legacy of Shui Tit Sing (1914–1997) — artist, educator, and one of Singapore’s overlooked modern pioneers.
Featuring over 50 works across watercolour, oil, ink, woodblock print, and sculpture, this exhibition traces Shui’s transnational journey from the National Hangzhou Art Academy in 1934 to his final decades in Singapore. Alongside the artworks, an extensive body of archival material compiled by cultural archivist Koh Nguang How—ranging from teaching notes and photographs to rare historical documents—offers a rare, multidimensional look at Shui’s life and impact.
This is Shui’s first major solo exhibition in over 40 years, and marks the beginning of a long-term curatorial initiative to revisit underexplored chapters of Singapore’s art history. Endorsed by the China Academy of Art and supported by the National Arts Council, the exhibition is also part of Singapore Gallery Month.
Be part of this long-awaited rediscovery of a post-war immigrant artist whose work shaped a generation.
