The solo exhibition Blossom exemplifies the budding talent of a young artist, Isaac Koh Xu En. It represents the explosion of life, vibrant and everything beautiful as depicted in his colourful array of creative works.
Isaac’s encounter with art began with his fascination in drawing Chinese lanterns completed with inscription of Chinese calligraphy, at a very young age. From lantern doodling, his art teacher, Mr Koh Hwee Khoon, subsequently develop his interest to paint a wide variety of subjects.
Flowers, especially orchids, as well as sundrenched landscapes and snow-peaked mountains are his forte and the central theme of this exhibition. His style is impressionistic, and he tries to capture reality and the ever-changing nature of light and colour using acrylic on canvas.
The proceeds of this exhibition will be contributed towards the Dr William Tan Fund. Dr William Tan, a Paralympics who has set many world records, is now stricken with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a rare form of leukemia where the bone marrow turns cancerous. The Dr William Tan Fund is dedicated to defray the cost of his treatment. Any excess funds after his treatment will be channeled to aid other patients at the National University Hospital (NUH) with financial difficulties.
