THREE of Singapore’s most respected veteran painters have come together for an exhibition to prove why paintings still matter. They are Boo Sze Yang, 58; Milenko Prvacki, 72; and Wong Keen, 80.
Between the three, they have about a century-and-a-half’s worth of professional experience. Their works are collected by art institutions in various cities, from Sydney to Belgrade to Minnesota, and they have garnered multiple awards and honours.
The show titled The Spatial, The Ephemeral, And The Possibility Of It All will feature over 30 of the artists’ latest works, with smaller canvases priced over S$8,000 and much larger canvases (up to 6 metres long) tagged at upwards of S$100,000.
