About the artwork

Zhu Hong’s understanding of, and passion for city life and architecture are expressed through the way he captures the spirit and essence of a building and its immediate surroundings. Adopting askew lines and unique angles, the instinctive and playful distortions of architectural elements in his cityscapes and street scenes exhibit a distinctive and contemporary flavour. The colours employed are usually vibrant and arresting, and they reflect keenly the lively tropical atmosphere of our island. By injecting such an unconventional and localised twist into what is supposedly one of the most traditional and timeless mediums in the Western art world, Zhu Hong paints like no other, and his works inspire us to observe familiar scenes and objects with fresh eyes.

About the artist

Born in China and having graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture, Zhu Hong started his career as an interior and events designer and has been living in Singapore for the past 16 years. Over the last decade, he has established himself as a significant watercolor artist and more recently, a digital artist via his touchscreen mobile phone. With a signature style of free-flowing strokes and watery color gradiations, the artist has exhibited in several solo exhibitions in Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore and has published three volumes of art books showcasing his work: Have Phone Will Paint (2013), Portraits of Singapore (2013) and Crossroads (2006)).
