About the Artist:
Born in 1937 in Indonesia, Goh Beng Kwan migrated to Singapore in 1945 with his family. In the 1950s, he studied Chinese ink painting with Chen Wen Hsi. In 1963, he studied at the Art Students' League in New York where he was first introduced to collage art and Abstract Expressionism. Goh was awarded the inaugural UOB Painting of the Year First Prize in 1982 and the Cultural Medallion in 1989. Goh is noted for his collage works which contain an oriental perspective. Inspired by nature, environment, and his ethnic Chinese heritage, his works relate to sensory impressions of the places he has visited. Goh's works are mainly mixed media pieces that use natural and man-made materials.
