작품 상세

An usually large pearl is in the hands of a young girl, and she is displaying it in front of her friends. The girl on the left, dressed in blue, is all of us — astounded and amazed at such a sight, yet also envious, entertaining the thought of “if only I could have it…” Siund Tan’s paintings are based on childhood memories and dreams, but with the newly represented Present in a surrealistic twist. Siund Tan (Tan Hong Shiung) was one of the star winners of the biennial Malaysian Emerging Artists Award, hosted jointly by HOM Art Trans and Galeri Chandan, in 2011. The other winners were Chong Ai Lei, Ng Swee Keat, Muhammad Syahbandi Samat and Sun Kang Jye. In 2011, he was also a finalist in the Da Dun Fine Arts exhibition in Taichung, Taiwan. He had his first solo titled SOMETIME at the G13 Gallery in 2014. Siund Tan obtained his BFA in Graphic Design at the Curtin University of Technology in Australia in 2004.
