About the artwork

The coloured splashes of paint that are layered on top of sepia tones inject energy and life into the painting. Awnings of shophouses and shuttered windows are highlighted with a pop of red, or brilliant turquoise - adding depth to the painting and showcasing the narrow alleys amidst shophouses. Through a frenzy of brushstrokes, Anthony Chua Say Hua effortlessly depicts familiar spaces in a nostalgic and contemporary manner.



About the artist

Born in Singapore in 1966, Chua Say Hua is a recipient of the Chen Chong Swee Scholarship and the Philippe Charriol Foundation Scholarship. He graduated with a Diploma in Fine Arts from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (1989-92) and furthered his art education at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia (1993-94) as well as the Goldsmiths College in London (1996-97).
