《醫道 · 中途》范少華美術40年
Journey in Art – 40 Years of Painting: Retrospective by Fan Shao Hua
March 25, 2015
新加坡籍华裔艺术家范少华的回顾展在南洋艺术学院(Nafa)举办,庆祝他40年的艺术历程。此次展览共展出61件作品,大部分创作于他1992年移居新加坡之后。展览中,他标志性的作品,如油画和水墨画的莲花系列,展现了他将传统中国元素与西方绘画技法相结合的独特风格。
范少华毕业于广州美术学院,并在2000年获得新加坡UOB年度绘画大奖。他的创作深受新加坡多元文化的影响,近期创作的新加坡河系列用大型画布展现了河流的变迁,描绘了节庆与都市生活的场景,以及多元种族的新加坡人物肖像,展现了他对新加坡多元文化的理解和表达。
在他的作品中,已故的新加坡开国总理李光耀是一个重要主题。自1994年首次创作李光耀的肖像以来,范少华创作了多幅李光耀的委托作品,其中包括象征新加坡种族和谐的四色抽象肖像系列。他的代表作《小国伟人》(2002年)是一幅巨型的中国水墨画,范少华希望在适当时机将此画作赠予国家。范少华至今已在世界各地举办了15次个展,并表示他的艺术创作将继续发展,未来会带来更加引人入胜的作品。
China-born Singaporean artist Fan Shaohua’s retrospective exhibition at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Nafa) celebrates 40 years of his artistic journey. With 61 artworks on display, the exhibition predominantly features pieces created after he moved to Singapore in 1992. His signature works, such as the Lotus series in oil and Chinese ink, showcase his unique style that blends traditional Chinese elements with Western painting techniques.
Fan, who graduated from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and won Singapore’s UOB Painting of the Year in 2000, highlights the multicultural influences of living in Singapore. His recent Singapore River series, large canvases depicting its transformation, and portraits of multi-racial Singaporeans capture the diversity of his surroundings.
A notable theme in his work is the late founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, whom Fan deeply admired. Since first portraying Mr. Lee in 1994, Fan has created multiple commissioned portraits, including a symbolic series using four colors representing Singapore’s racial harmony. A standout piece, A Great Man From A Small Country (2002), is a large Chinese ink painting that he intends to present to the nation. With over 15 solo exhibitions worldwide, Fan Shaohua continues to evolve and promises even more compelling art ahead.
