畫家范少華（53歲）繼2015年於南洋藝術學院舉辦“藝道·中途從藝四十週年“大型回顧展後，本月26日為南藝基金會籌款舉行個展，售出所得將部分捐獻該基金會。

這次范少華展出30幅油畫和水墨畫，包括寫意荷花、山水延續，融入女體，虛擬人與自然融會的情境，人物畫是范少華的強項，2000年度大華銀行繪畫比賽最佳獎作品是人物畫。水墨畫《問荷》《玉立》，油畫《采蓮》的花仙子兀自盛開，意在傳達“出淤泥而不染，濯清漣而不妖”的氣質。

范少華用油畫技巧表達水墨山水畫特質，《曲水》《風觀》《黃落》《聽雪》一組山水畫中的擬仙女，代表大自然四季更迭，在宣紙上塑造虛擬的山景，看上不是山，看水不是水，似真似幻。

1985年畢業於廣州美術學院油畫系的范少華，其寫意荷花和山水已在中國廣東美術館、上海美術館、北京中國美術館、香港大會堂、上海朵雲軒，以及韓國、日本辦過個展。

”藝道·中途從藝四十週年“日期：1月26至28日 時間：上午11時至晚上8時 地點：新加坡視覺藝術中心（Visual Arts Centre） #01-02 Dhoby Ghaut Green 10 Penang Rd（多美各地鐵B出口）

Artist Fan Shaohua’s (age 53) Upcoming Solo Exhibition for the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts Foundation

Following his large-scale retrospective exhibition “Artistic Journey: 40 Years of Mid-Career Art” at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in 2015, Fan Shaohua will hold another solo exhibition on the 26th of this month, this time as a fundraising effort for the NAFA Foundation. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of his artworks will be donated to the foundation.

In this exhibition, Fan will showcase 30 oil and ink paintings, including expressive depictions of lotus flowers, landscapes, and figures, blending elements of the human body with nature to create imagined scenes where humans and the natural world seamlessly coexist. Fan Shaohua is well known for his figure painting, with his Best Award winning work at the 2000 UOB Painting Competition also being a portrait. His ink paintings "Questioning the Lotus" and "Graceful Stand", along with his oil painting "Lotus Picking" feature ethereal flower fairies, symbolizing the purity and elegance of lotus flowers that "emerge unstained from the mud."

Fan uses oil painting techniques to convey the essence of ink landscapes in his works like "Meandering Water", "Windy View", "Yellow Falls", and "Listening to Snow." These pieces feature mystical figures that embody the changing seasons in nature. The mountains and rivers portrayed on the xuan paper evoke a sense of reality and fantasy, as if the viewer is seeing mountains and water that are both real and imaginary.

Graduating from the Oil Painting Department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 1985, Fan Shaohua’s expressive lotus flowers and landscapes have been exhibited in major galleries, including Guangdong Art Museum, Shanghai Art Museum, National Art Museum of China (Beijing), Hong Kong City Hall, Duoyunxuan (Shanghai), as well as in Korea and Japan.
