Synopsis:
Cultural Medallion Recipient and Pioneer Generation Artist Goh Beng Kwan celebrates 85 years with 85 works in solo exhibition #GBK85
In celebration of his 85th year of life, #GBK85 will be a revolutionary presentation of Goh's traditional and digital works. It will be the artist's first solo exhibition since 1991.
From 20th to 29th May 2022, an entire floor of Conrad Centennial Singapore will be transformed into a physical and AR immersive experience.
The exhibition will take you on a journey through time, where attendees will be able to see Goh's wide spectrum of art, including never-before-seen works under Goh's Covid-19 Series, documenting specific events and his emotions experienced during this historic period.
This is the first time a local artist is exhibiting on a whole floor in a hotel – attendees can expect to view Goh's artworks in physical form, as well as in the form of Augmented Reality, where art pieces come to life through a dedicated ArtAF app.
A passionate advocate of the therapeutic benefits of art in supporting mental wellbeing, a portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH).
