Beautiful Stories: Chapter One - Eric Chan

This exhibition will be held at ChanHampe Galleries from 6th June 2014 to 6th July 2014.


It has been a while since Eric Chan's had an exhibition in Singapore. This series presents a curious selection of narratives - read more here.

This series is typical Eric Chan with blurred images, flowers, animals and the human figure but presented in a fresh light. His current series is definitely not as dark as his previous works. And Eric Chan's unique painterly skills are evident in this body of work. His control of tone is excellent and with his gifted eye and understanding of colours he is able to produce these rich works. Very talented artist.

The two best works of the series are Dream and Voyeur. And the most entertaining would be Death by Earl Grey.

You should definitely go and check out his works.The gallerists at ChanHampe are most amiable and welcoming.

Points for Collectors: Eric Chan is a definite BUY. Think a couple of works have been sold and there have been expressions of interest in the pieces. Eric Chan's work has been acquired by quite a few collectors and his pieces have traded hands at auctions. Smallest work is 120cm x 120cm; only big works for serious collectors here.
