\n<\/span>
\nSelf introduction
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The paintings created by artist Chng Keng Beng show great intricacy and his unique interpretation of panoramic cityscape. Buildings are the main theme of the artist, and one will notice that the artist is not only an observer but that he attempts to involve himself in \u201cconversation with the urban city\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His works reflect his commitment to subtle colours and contemplation while painting. The paintings show his perception and feeling of the modern urban city.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chng engages both realism and abstract elements, reflecting his own unique artistic style. The colours used reflect detached and apathy. These buildings as viewed from high altitude portray that people are minuscule and cannot fully integrate themselves in their environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The coronavirus ravaged, greatly limiting our freedom.\u00a0 It poses a good moment to ponder, how shall man manage this earth again?\u00a0 Leaning by the window, curtain veils upon the glass panels, the coloured folds prevail, gentle breeze reaches deep into my heart. \u00a0\u00a0When the wind fades, the scenario clears up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the curtain\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is what I see when I open my eyes and my window after these two years. Covid-19 has forced us to isolate behind closed doors, hidden behind masks. The virus is changing beautifully and frightening, it is inches closer to us. The scenery outside our windows has been changed, we have become distant, losing parts of our freedom.\u00a0 Let us fight to win against this threat of the virus.\u00a0 Let our mask be this curtain, a barrier that keeps the virus on the outside.<\/span><\/p>\n
