ShanghART Singapore is honoured to present Tang Da Wu’s first solo exhibition with ShanghART Gallery, “3, 4, 5, I Don’t Like Fine Art”, opening on 29 July 2023 with a live performance by the artist at 4.30pm. Featuring new works inspired by his personal experiences as an artist, the exhibition showcases several sculptural installations that tell the story of Tang’s life journey with art.
From his very first painting exhibition in 1970, to Earth Work (1980) upon his first return from studying overseas, to co-founding The Artists Village (1988), Tang has been a constant presence in the development of Singapore’s contemporary art scene. Working tirelessly and staying true to himself as an artist through the years, Tang continues to contribute to the growth of the art scene by sharing his knowledge and experiences with the next generations, having been teaching at the National Institute of Education for the past twenty years.
Following up on his series of double-bill exhibitions at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in the recent years, Tang continues to draw upon local mythologies, art history, recurring motifs such as the phoenix, while looking inwards at his personal art.
Venue: ShanghART Singapore, 9 Lock Road, #02-22, Gillman Barracks, Singapore 108937
