Singapore has something for everyone, and there’s a large supply of everything.  For those looking for a place with a sense of constant distraction and inspiration, Singapore will reveal some of its multiple personas, and always hold things in reserve.  There’s always a sense that there’s more here than meets the eye, and what meets the eye is absolutely sublime.  It’s a fantastic place for travelers, with opportunities to get caught up in the many excitements the city state offers, as well as chances to get calm, and find splendid vistas to please the eye and ease the soul.  There is both an urban edge as well as a magnificent sense of luxury travel.  Singapore can offer what you’re looking for, and also offer many more surprises.

It can, in fact, spoil a world traveler, because there are very few places on earth that offer such a spectacular array of the products of human creativity.  There are beautiful buildings, magnificent food, and a very lively visual arts scene.  While you’re enjoying the marvelous work here, you may come across many different paintings that are striking and very moving.  There is a large population of artists living here, some born here, and some have relocated.  Hong Zhu An was born in Shanghai, moved to Sydney, and settled finally in Singapore.  All of these places have been lucky to have this brilliant artist staying there, and we are lucky he has chosen Singapore as the home where he makes his spectacular works.

His training in Chinese and Western art forms come through in his work.  They are magnificent layers upon layers, where subtle gradations of tone and texture give way to the form and color beneath, and sometimes this is overlaid with Chinese characters, to make works that are extremely appealing.  They also hold up to repeated viewings, because there is always something new here, where the surface is beckoning for the mind to slow down and look just a bit closer at how things really are.
