Han Sai Por is a renowned Singaporean sculptor known for her elegant stone sculptures of organic forms with nature-inspired motifs. Trained in fine arts and landscape architecture, she is interested in the often neglected concern for flora, fauna, heritage and preservation in the region’s rapidly changing landscape. Han has exhibited internationally and has works in international institutions and private collections, as well as public spaces such as Singapore’s Changi Airport Terminal 3. She was honoured with Singapore’s Cultural Medallion in 1995 for her outstanding contributions to the arts.
Goh Beng Kwan was one of the earliest post-war artists in Singapore to travel to the US to pursue an art education. There, he studied at the Arts Students League of New York. Today, Goh is recognised for his contributions in collage, particularly for incorporating a wide range of cultural materials and motifs, which he uses to explore issues surrounding cultural representation, urbanism and identity.
