In 2006, Wang Jiafang’s first exhibition in Singapore sold out even before it opened. Given that he was not well-known outside of China then, this was a remarkable achievement.
This reflects a distinctiveness of Singapore’s collecting scene since the 1980s—an openness to embrace Chinese ink painters who broke with tradition in pursuit of modernity. This exhibition highlights a selection of paintings acquired by local collectors who have long admired Wang’s strong brush techniques and innovative spirit.
The exhibition is curated by Low Sze Wee.
汪家芳山水:狮城珍藏
汪家芳于2006年在新加坡举办的首次画展在开幕前就已售罄。对当时在中国以外缺乏知名度的他而言,这是异常显著的成就。
这体现了新加坡收藏界自1980年代以来的特点—即愿意容纳勇于突破传统,追求现代性的中国水墨画家。此展凸显了本地藏家所藏的画作精品,表达出他们长久以来对汪氏所蕴涵的精悍笔法及创新精神的追崇。
此展由刘思伟策划。
