About the exhibition
Step into a world where time-honoured Chinese traditions and cherished iconic motifs come alive, painting a vivid tapestry of nostalgia and cultural resonance. Our upcoming art exhibition is a heartfelt tribute to the rich heritage of China, celebrating the captivating allure of its traditional painting and the familiar elements found within its homes.
"Journey Through Tradition: A Celebration of Chinese Icons" invites you to rekindle the flame of childhood memories, evoking the warmth of lantern-lit evenings in village squares. Immerse yourself in the tender symbolism of the Mandarin duck, an emblem of love that has transcended generations. Stand in awe of the elegant cranes, guardians of longevity, immortality, and wisdom, as they dance across canvases, bestowing their profound significance upon our present.
As you traverse the exhibition, you'll encounter a resplendent display of vases and urns that have gracefully adorned traditional Chinese restaurants and homes. Each delicate brushstroke captures the essence of time-honoured craftsmanship, a living testament to the enduring allure of Chinese design.
Marking a remarkable alignment with the cosmic rhythms, our exhibition takes centre stage during the Lunar New Year, an auspicious moment when the Year of the Dragon graces us with its presence. This legendary and enigmatic creature, an emblem of strength and transformation, takes on a prominent role in our showcase, its magnificence accentuating the synergy between past and present.
"Journey Through Tradition" beckons you to embark on a voyage through the heart of China's artistic legacy, a sensory exploration of iconic symbols that resonate across cultures and generations. Join us as we blend the threads of heritage and innovation, weaving together a tapestry that bridges the cherished yesteryears with the vibrant aspirations of today.
Step into the canvas of Chinese tradition, where every stroke tells a story, and every motif ignites the spark of remembrance. We invite you to be a part of this extraordinary journey.
About Anthony Van Lam
As a watercolourist, I strive to create beautiful organic shapes representing healing and wellness through an exploration of lines, silhouettes, and colour. I also create with mixed media and use the beauty of shapes, flowers, and animals as multiple transparent layers in a composition, blended to generate deeper meanings.
I m a strong believer in using what you have and what you have learnt, and putting it into practice. I like to use my imagination to create beautiful things. My artworks are all related to everything in life that fascinates me and always overwhelmed me with excitement. I need their stories to be told through my art. Some of my subjects are darker but I like to share the different sides of them. Especially the beauty of the lessons in life, sacrifices, inner strengths and beliefs, all these topics are very important for me to share.
The beauty of silhouettes, shapes and lines of all shades of colours are the things I see would show in my works
