Nanyang artworks exhibition review.

To explain what is Nanyang style of artwork, it takes not only a few sentences, but a rather thorough understanding of the emergence of the word Nanyang and the history behind it.

All sorts of things happen, whether if the factor causing it is malignant or benign. It started off back in WW2, when there were lots of chinese artisan and merchants flocked to SEA[ particularly Singapore and Tanah Melayu] to avoid the brutality of Japanese militarism.

And so, one of the artist found that Singapore is a great place for cultural exchange because it is one of the main port centralizing east and west, and thus founded NAFA. Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
Generally, you can say the style of Nanyang is the fusion of east and west style of paintings, while depicting daily 'mundane' events or occurrence in a manner which is very captivating.
Even this sentence explaining Nanyang style is a bit too dull.
Captured at the centre of a painting, themed 'rain befalling on mountains'
Of course, I took this just for the sake of my own entertainment, the real painting is really captivating! The details of it is just breath taking =D

Ohhhh, and we had some discussion session with SEANAFA institution leader and NAFA president in this international conference room!!
mannnnnnnnnnnnnn, the feeling of it, sitting in the same room with so many artist and VVIP, and to know the fact that a lot of highly prolific leaders had been here to discuss about various matter...
hahahahaha, suddenly feel powerful?
And I like the speaker thing in front of me, macam dalam kabinet pulak...
'YANG BERHORMAT, SAYA MEMBANTAH!!'

lol
