"Chinatown - Horizon of Changes" - Solo Exhibition by Chankerk

fill-your-walls, an art gallery dedicated to promoting affordable art by emerging local artists presents “Chinatown – Horizon of Changes”, a solo exhibition by Chankerk.

Chankerk’s fascination with Chinatown, its rich cultural heritage, commercial activities and blend of new and old architecture was the inspiration behind this series of 15 paintings. Capturing the changes around Chinatown, Chankerk aims to demonstrate the contrast between the desire and demand for progressive growth and the pursuit of culture and heritage conservation in Singapore.

Depicting both the new high-rise buildings and old conservation shop houses, each piece in this series symbolizes an energetic development of urban space and nostalgia. Chankerk explores shifting of images, gestural strokes and layering of paints to create a sense of tension, uncertainty and melancholy, a reflection of the social, physical and spiritual phenomenon of a rapidly changing Singapore.

“Chinatown – Horizon of Changes” by Chankerk runs from 4 February till 23 February 2010 at the fill-your-walls gallery, which is located at 21 Tanjong Pagar Road #04-02. The exhibition is open from 10.00 am to 10.00 pm daily except Wednesdays and Public Holidays. Admission is free. For enquiries, please call 6222 1667.
