Tong Chin Sye: Portrait, Still Life & Landscape Paintings

This exhibition presents 40 oil paintings by 2nd generation Singapore artist Tong Chin Sye. Featuring portrait, still life and landscape compositions completed during the period of 1980s – early 2000s, the works on showcase reflect Tong’s dedicated pursuit in travelling and painting since early in his practice, and the inspirations behind his landscape and figurative exploration. While audience may already be familiar with Tong’s lyrical landscape paintings in both oil and watercolour medium, this is the first exhibition showcasing his versatile oeuvre that includes an extensive series of portrait and still life compositions completed over three decades of the artist’s career.
