李曼峰的动物绘画作品
One of Indonesia’s most renowned artists， Lee Man Fong and his family first moved to Singapore from Guangzhou， China， when he was just three years old. Lee spent his formative years in Singapore， where he was educated in Yangzheng School， and taught the techniques of sketching by Mei Yutian， an artist of the Lingnan school. He subsequently attended St Andrews School， where his painting abilities were recognised. Lee’s artistic career started from drawing cartoons and painting billboards for advertising firms. His artistic talents started to be professionally recognised when he moved to Indonesia in 1932， and served as the chief art designer for a Dutch firm.

说明 出处
资深藏家藏品
Liu Kang was a pioneer artist who was a key figure in establishing a local style in Singapore’s visual arts， known as the Nanyang Style. Born in 1911 in Yongchun， Fujian， China， Liu Kang spent his early years in Malaya where his father worked as a rubber merchant. He continued his studies in China’s Jinan University Middle School in 1926 and took art classes at Shanghai College of Fine Art during the school holidays. Liu continued his art education in Paris， France at the Academie de la Grande Chuamiere from 1929 to 1933. Liu Kang came to Singapore in 1942 and has been credited with numerous contributions to the local arts scene. Together with his fellow Nanyang style painters， Liu developed a large body of work that expresses a unique Southeast Asian consciousness as experienced by the Chinese diaspora.
One such work is Street Scene， Singapore Trengganu St that is painted in 1951. This work is one of the large scale work of his early years which depicts the bustling scene of a bygone era. Painted in great details with a myriad of colours， it captures the frenzied nature of activities happening in the street， which takes its name from Terengganu， a sultanate state on the Northeastern side of present-day Peninsular Malaysia. Located in the Chinatown of Singapore， the road links Pagoda Street and Sago Street， and is intersected by Temple Street and Smith Street. Trengganu Street was described as “the Piccadilly of Chinese Singapore” in the past. In Hokkien， the street is called “the cross street of Kreta Ayer 牛车水横街”. This day to day scene gives a glimpse of what an immigrant would have encountered in 50s Singapore as part of the Chinese diaspora， interlacing history and personal experiences on a canvas.
刘抗的艺术实践为新加坡开辟了独有的南洋艺术风格，是一位先驱性的艺术家。1991年出生在福建，永春县，早年因为父亲的橡胶事业设立在马来亚，因此童年时光也在这里度过。而后，1926年回到，就学在暨南大学附属中学，假期期间往返上海美术学院精修自己的绘画爱好。1929 – 1933年间前往法国巴黎的大茅舍画院Academie de la Grande Chuamiere 继续深造艺术绘画。1942年来到新加坡后，为这里的艺术界贡献了自己一生的艺术理想。和同辈的艺术朋友开辟了南洋风格绘画，作品展示对东南亚风情，华侨移民的体验和经历。
