Perception and Delusion

Just went to this exhibition by Ng Woon Lam and Don Low at NTU'S School of Art, Design and Media. I don't know how best to describe it but will try. It's quite a fascinating display that seems to test the concept of merging East and West using watercolour and ink. Chinese folklore characters are the subject of Don Low, while landscapes are depicted by Ng Woon Lam.

One of Ng Woon Lam's pieces is on a single long continuous piece of paper, which is also transposed onto screen in 2D animation. He describes it best in the catalogue: "I am inspired to experiment using traditional brushwork adapted from Chinese ink painting methodology within the 2D animation creating process."

Also on display are sketchbooks with studies by both artists, which gives a glimpse into their planning and thought process.
