Held in-conjunction with the ongoing exhibition, Scholars
& Ink: Artists from NUS and the Alumni, NUS Museum presents A stroll
through dense green by participating artist Hong Sek Chern, part of the Grounded
Conversations series. The talk's title was derived from the title of a
painting Dense Green Covering the Spring Mountain by Ming Dynasty
painter Dai Jin. Using this as a starting point, Sek Chern will initiate a walk
through some key ideas within the genre of traditional Chinese ink landscape
painting and the artist's negotiation of past tradition with current concerns.
The Scholars & Ink exhibition runs till 23 August 2015.
About the speaker
Hong Sek Chern graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine
Arts in 1995 with a Diploma in Fine Art and from Goldsmiths College, University
of London in 1998 with an MA in Fine Art. She is interested in exploring
various themes within urban settings in her paintings and likes to work with
various painting media such as traditional Chinese ink, oil and acrylic so as
to explore the painterly qualities these mediums offer.
About the Grounded Conversations series
Presenting a series of distinct projects on how art practitioners
have begun to adopt comprehensive paradigms in their fieldwork methods
traditionally associated with anthropological and historical research, Grounded
Conversations brings together practitioners from the contemporary art world
to unravel this ‘anthropological turn’.
