岩石裂縫 In the Cleft of the Rock｜ 2018.4.14 ~ 5.26
Preview：2018.4.14 2-5pm 藝術家：巫思遠 Boo Sze Yang、鄭木彰 Tay Bak Chiang Venue: 百棋藝術有限公司｜Pocket Fine Arts 策展人：巫思遠 本次展覽推介兩位來自新加坡的藝術家巫思遠與鄭木彰，以不同的形式、媒材，分別展現他們對於自然環境與地貌的觀察。自然環境與藝術家之間的關係是直接而直覺的，有時甚至遠大過於文化的影響。同樣身為島國子民，現代生活的囧境莫過於來自環境的開發與發展，直接衝擊著大自然的原始生態。此次展出的作品，不但表現出藝術家們企圖捕捉大自然充滿驚喜，令人著迷又變幻莫測的瞬間，更試圖邀請觀者進入當代自然環境持續轉型的另類文人詮釋。 巫思遠近期一系列近乎單色的油畫創作，體現出一個逐漸被城市發展解剖和換置的自然世界。藝術家在畫布表面上然濕漆的原料隨性鋪成，不斷移動濕漆的原料，把過程中留下的痕跡逐漸構建出夢幻般的圖像。畫面處於抽象和具象的邊緣，展現出環境生態在現代建設下產生的矛盾及不可預測性。 鄭木彰的創作題材以石頭為主，以創新的技巧、媒材及顏色，重新詮釋其獨特的形式和巧妙的構圖。透過對於大自然的觀察，藉由畫筆抒發個人情感與當代文人精神。 This exhibition brings together two Singaporean artists who have developed distinctive painting styles in their approach to represent the landscape. The environment where the artists live has a direct impact on their senses, their emotions, their relationships with nature and wider culture. Being a tiny island city-state constantly in a state of construction and renewal, the notion of development and progress has given rise to a long-standing dilemma regarding solutions on modern living and the impact it has on the natural environment. The works in this exhibition attempt to capture nature, not only as they experience it – magnificent, enchanting, unpredictable – but to immerse in its whole and to engage the viewer in a contemporary interpretation of their environment’s ongoing transformation through paintings.

29.03.15 – A solo exhibition by Boo Sze Yang
Exhibition period: 31st July – 22nd August 2015
Launch of monograph: Saturday, 15th August 2015, 2.30 pm
Press Release:
iPreciation is pleased to stage a solo exhibition “29.03.15” of Singapore artist Boo Sze Yang from 31st July – 22nd August 2015. This exhibition will feature the artist’s latest series of paintings which pay tribute to the day of the passing of Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan Yew.
Entitled “29.03.15”, this exhibition distills the emotional tone of that fateful day that has become significant in Singapore’s history. Boo’s new paintings encapsulate time as a symbolic element which opens up readings into various situations which have occurred during this gloomy day. The mood in the paintings is quiet and sombre, people’s gestures and facial expressions reveal the nation’s profound, yet indescribable sense of loss and sadness. While the nation discusses the commemoration of LKY, the artist chooses instead to focus on the people of Singapore – “the ordinary, anonymous Singaporeans who did the extraordinary”. The presence of the commune that was formed and unified on this day spoke much more than it could be captured by the media, and these paintings offer a closer view on the psychological, dramatic and solemn effect on the people of Singapore. Without any direct visual references to LKY, the works inevitably capture a sense of his presence and his standing in people’s hearts via the impact and memory of his passing.
Boo is known for dealing with unconventional subject matter, from everyday domestic objects, crash-scenes, to the derelict interiors of cathedrals and glittering vast spaces of shopping malls. In his characteristic style, he paints the subject as means to unravel a metaphor for the human condition. His playfulness with brushwork, turpentine washes, scarping and adding of paint onto the primed canvas is what makes his paintings so compelling. In addition, Boo’s method of mixing of colours directly on the canvas and control over grey tones shows mastery of over twenty years of practice. The surfaces of the new paintings are thin, alike watercolours. With “29.03.15”, figures are submerged with space surrounding them, and fast paced marks culminate to form a scene as recollected from the photographs and memory.
Part of the exhibition programme includes the launch of the artist’s first monograph on the 15th August at 2.30 pm, offering a mini-retrospective of the artist’s works and development over the last twenty years, including the exhibition of significant older works to complement the new series of works, thereby continuing the dialogue and journey of the artist. This exhibition will coincide with Singapore’s National Day (Aug 9), a suitable time for contemplation, discussion and appreciation in this significant SG50 year of our nationhood. As Boo himself turns fifty this year, he reflects on the developments of our young nation and at the same time questions the future.

Beers Contemporary
LONDON (1 Baldwin Street, London, EC1V 9NU) Public View: Thursday 27 November 2014: 6-9pm Exhibition Dates: 28 November - 17 January, 2015 Beers Contemporary is extremely proud to announce the official release of a major publication, entitled, ‘100 Painters of Tomorrow’. Authored by Director Kurt Beers and published by the UK’s leading fine art publishers, Thames & Hudson, this unique and special publication is the culmination of an extensive project to find the most exciting, fresh and up-and-coming emerging painters currently at work worldwide. The book is an intelligent, wide-ranging and exhilarating survey of largely unknown talent, selected by a distinguished international panel including: painter Cecily Brown; Director of London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts, Gregor Muir; Head of Sharjah Biennale, Yuko Hasegawa, author of PHAIDON’s Painting Today, Tony Godfrey; and author of PHAIDON’s Vitamin P (Eds. I & II), Barry Schwabsky among others. The 100 artists featured therein were gathered via an international open-call for submissions that drew over 4,300 applications from 37 countries including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, the UK and the USA. To celebrate the release of ‘100 Painters of Tomorrow’ – a project that has been 2 years in the making – Kurt Beers and the entire team at Beers Contemporary is thrilled to be collaborating with these talented and internationally-based painters in two coinciding exhibitions in London and New York. Entitled, ‘100 Painters of Tomorrow’ (London/New York) these two unique exhibitions will showcase a cross-section of selected work by the majority of artists included in the publication. The work of these talented painters spans an extraordinary range of styles and techniques from abstraction to figuration, minimalism to magical realism, traditional oil-on-canvas and mixed media, to performance and installation-based painting. Exhibiting together for the first time, the work of these artists (who range in age from 23-64) offers an intriguing insight into the state of painting today by providing personal insight into the thinking and creative practices of the 100 artists included therein. List of exhibiting artists in London: Dale Adcock, Julieta Aguinaco, Chechu Alava, Kristina Alisauskaite, Michael Armitage, Cornelia Baltes, Aglae Bassens, Emma Bennett, GL Brierley, Sze Yang Boo, Jane Bustin, Carla Busuttil, Blake Daniels, Adam Dix, Tomory Dodge, Dejan Dukic, Zhang Fan, Marc Freeman, Nuno Gil, Pablo Griss, Kate Groobey, Andre Hemer, Akira Ikezoe, Ewa Juszkiewicz, Lael Marshall, James Kudo, Guillermo Mora, Ryan Mosley, Kinga Nowak, Sikelela Owens, Emily Platzer, Henrijs Preiss, Anna Ring, Richard Roth, Javanta Roy, James Ryan, Andrew Salgado, Pawel Sliwinski, Lukasz Stoklosa, Evren Sungur, Emma Tablot, Jirapat Tatsanasomboon, Aleksandar Todorovic, Ivana De Vivanco, Mathew Weir |

Boo Sze Yang: The Father
Exhibition period: 21st February – 08th March 2014 Venue: iPRECIATION (誰先覺) 50 Cuscaden Road HPL House #01-01 Singapore 249724 Tel 65 6339 0678 http://www.ipreciation.com Boo Sze Yang: The Father is an exhibition that contributes to the recent opening of political and cultural public discourse on Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s former Prime Minister, and what he means to Singaporeans and the country’s history. The Father provides multiple readings into the legacy of Lee, and explores anxieties stemming from how Singapore can continue to prosper without this iconic figure that has shaped this country since its independence. Boo offers his own readings into these issues with critical depth derived from his own personal admiration for this political leader. More importantly, the power of Lee’s image as an icon is excavated by the artist from his memories and other sources such as the media. The cult of personality that mindlessly glorifies a leader is not what Boo is searching for. Instead, it is an open, critical and intellectual discussion on Lee, and the future vision and direction of Singapore that defines the purpose of this exhibition. The Father comprises of portrait paintings of Lee by Boo that captures this major figure who has eschewed the cult of personality resulting in the underrepresentation of his image as an icon. This exhibition interrogates and opens up and questions stable readings of Lee as the “Father of Singapore”. Catalogue Essay by Seng Yu Jin |

Do You Believe in Angels?
Curated by Tony Godfrey 8 Feb - 9 Mar 2014 MO_. Manila, the Philippines Are angels a genuine subject of interest today? How do you make an exhibition of that concern? These are the two questions Tony Godfrey wants to talk about. Surveys in the USA and elsewhere show over half the population believe in them - Christian, Muslim Hindu, Buddhist. So this is a real issue! do we believe in them and what are they? What do they do? They are talked about in art but evasively as allegories (Benjamin's angel of history) or something highly personal (Rilke's terrifying angels) or as a device to look at this work (Wim Wender's Wings of Desire). Is the problem that we don't know how to picture them anymore? Like the angel in Wender's film they seem to have lost their wings. If I have given the artists a question that can be answered yes, no or perhaps I have also given them a problem: how to make a work of art about this. As the artists come from a diverse background and many countries. It is also an occasion to say something about them. I am after all surely the only person who knows all of them - or nearly! Do You Believe in Angels? is co-presented by MO_. and Equator Art Projects. The exhibition will open on February 8, and will run until March 9, 2014 at Mo_. |
Tony Godfrey has published several books on conceptual art, painting, drawing and irony. He is currently writing a book on Contemporary Indonesian Painting and planning a book on the history of Contemporary Art. He ran an MA programme at Sotheby's for many years and moved to Singapore five years ago. He spends an increasing amount of his time in the Philippines.

The Little Joys of Singapore
14 August – 1 September, 2013 Galerie Sogan& Art 16 Jalan Muhammad Sultan Road, Singapore www.soganart.com The exhibition, The Little Joys of Singapore showcases a collection of artworks by Singapore artists. The works are selected from the studios of established senior artists such as Lim Yew Kuan and Chong Fah Cheong to mid-career contemporary artists Boo Sze Yang and Terence Tan Chee Wah, across a variety of media. The exhibition, curated to address what the city means to them, as well as challenges the artists to express many familiar signs and sounds of Singapore through their works. By pairing senior artists and their younger counterparts, we hope to show how inspirations, while similar, could result in extremely different interpretations that are dependent on individual experience. |

Painting in Singapore
2 August - 8 September 2013 EQUATOR ART PROJECTS 47 Malan Road, #01-21, Singapore 109444 https://www.facebook.com/eqproj “Periodically we hear the cry “painting is dead!” or (most recently) in Straits Times “There is no Painting in Singapore any more.” This is very odd because I meet a lot of painters both in Singapore and elsewhere in my travels. As far as I can tell they go to their studios most days and rather than sitting down head in hands and wondering what they should do now painting is finished they actually carry on making paintings! In fact, I know they do because I have seen quite a few of those paintings!! ‘There are painters on this island (as there are elsewhere) who have both a good critical awareness of the various traditions of painting and the imagination and dexterity to make new things within those traditions. To give a sense of what is going on in the Singapore painting community I asked the five Singapore based painters I have worked with before (Jane Lee, Milenko Prvacki, Jeremy Sharma, Guo-Liang Tan and Ian Woo) to each show a painting and also nominate another painters. They nominated Boo Sze Yang, Lee Young Rim, Ng Joon Kiat and Willie Tay who will also each show a painting. ‘The catalogue will include a roundtable discussion with the artists about painting in Singapore, whether it is a good or unusual place to make paintings, whether there is something particular about paintings made in Singapore. There will be talks by the artists during the exhibition. Please come and see the show and see a cross section of the most innovative Painting in Singapore” - Tony Godfrey |

The Realm in the Mirror, the Vision out of Image
An Exhibition of Singapore Contemporary Art 09 May – 18 Aug 2013 Suzhou Jinji Lake Art Museum, Suzhou, China. Curated by Chinese curator, Feng Boyi, the exhibition puts the focus on the strategies of representations deployed by contemporary artists of Singapore, and proposes more complex ways of viewing their works. The exhibition offers a platform to engage with art as more than mere reflections or mirror images of reality but to discern an entire landscape or realm that artists have created that often go beyond ostensible appearances. Through the use of myth and allegory, visual story-telling devices, and through the creation and honing of a unique, idiosyncratic visual language through paint, sculpture, performance and new media, these artists have created entire vocabularies and a remarkable range of representations, expressions and communication. These works expose certain assumptions we carry about gender, sexual, national, ethnic identities, and suggest ways of resistance to the usual habits of relating to the world around us. The works compel us to question our relationship with cultural legacies, with the environment as well as heighten our wareness that the visual idioms of painting and sculpture are continually shifting and recharged by the current generation. The exhibition proposes ways of viewing the image and appreciating works of art, to discern the vision, ideals and ideologies embedded in such representations. The selection features 15 veteran artists, Cultural Medallion recipients and cutting-edge contemporary artists who have forged strong practices in painting, sculpture, performance art and mixed media works. Amanda Heng (b. 1951), Ben Puah (b. 1976), Boo Sze Yang (b. 1965), Han Sai Por (b. 1943), Ho Tzu Nyen (b. 1976), Jane Lee (b. 1963), Lee Wen (b. 1957), Michael Lee (b. 1972), Milenko Prvacki (b. 1951), Robert Zhao Renhui (b. 1983), Sai Hua Kuan (b. 1976), Vincent Leow (b. 1961), Willy Tay (b. 1974), Yeo Chee Kiong (b. 1970), Zulkifle Mahmod (b. 1975) Exhibition Venue: Suzhou Jinji Lake Art Museum Suzhou Arts and Cultural Centre No.1 Guan Feng Jie (Guan Feng Street), Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province, P.R.

The ExtraOrdinary
3 - 23 Feb 2012 The ExtraOrdinary is a series of paintings of ordinary and everyday objects which the artist encountered in his daily living. We live and learn in an environment where we never fully see or grasp the entirety of an object. Our life is a series of assumption and belief about what we see, who we are and how we should go on living. We take certain things for granted simply because we can’t question them. Sometimes we take the wrong things for granted and we will never know if the life we lived is actually just an illusion.

The New Cathedral
9 - 18 Jan 2012 Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts Galleries 1 & 2. 80 Bencoolen Street. Singapore 189665. Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) alumnus, former head of Department of Fine Art at NAFA and the recipient of numerous awards both locally and internationally, Boo Sze Yang presents his 10th solo exhibition ‘The New Cathedral’ from 10 to 18 January 2012 at NAFA Galleries 1 & 2 at NAFA Campus 1. 46-year-old Boo is one of the foremost contemporary painters in Singapore who has held nine solo exhibitions in galleries in Singapore, US and South Korea and participated in 78 group exhibitions since 1990. He has received numerous accolades and awards, including the Asian Artist Fellowship Award by the Freeman Foundation, USA in 2010 and the Platinum Award in UOB Painting of the Year Competition 2009. He was Head of Department of Fine Art at NAFA where he graduated from in 1991, before giving up full-time teaching to focus on his practice. ‘The New Cathedral’ features a selection of paintings from Boo’s House of God and The Mall series, most of them completed in the last two years. His explorations of light and space continue to evolve through his distinctive brushwork and subdued grey palette with over 40 works of cathedrals and shopping malls, where side by side, they seem strikingly similar. The artist proposes that the glitzy shopping mall is the new cathedral, both are cavernous venues full of “glitter and awe” that promise fulfillment for the modern man and woman.
