Boo Sze Yang 巫思远

Boo Sze Yang received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1991 and his Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art from the University of Reading in the United Kingdom in 1995. He also earned a Master of Arts degree from the University of the Arts, London’s Chelsea College of Art & Design in 2004.

He was awarded the Freeman Foundation’s Asian Artist Fellowship Award for residency at the Vermont Studio Center in the United States in 2010/2011. He won the Juror’s Choice Award for the Philip Morris Singapore-ASEAN Art Award in 2003, and the Platinum Award for the UOB Painting of the Year Competition in 2009. He is featured in the Thames & Hudson publication 100 Painters of Tomorrow in 2014.

Boo Sze Yang works with unconventional subjects, such as domestic objects, depiction of transport crash-scenes and interiors of cathedrals and shopping malls. His works feature scenes as a metaphor for human conditions, such as his ongoing Mall series which is a study of space as a concept and a symbol. Through his eclectic brushworks and subdued colours, he creates an ambiance of light and space, inviting those who saw them to contemplate its meanings.

The National Gallery Singapore, the Singapore Istana Art Collection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore, United Overseas Bank, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Simmons & Simmons Contemporary Art Collection, Urban Redevelopment Authority Singapore, Ngee Ann Kongsi Singapore, and Yingu Art Mansion in Beijing are among the institutions that own his works.

巫思远,57岁,出生于新加坡,祖籍广东省潮州普宁。

巫思远的画作探索的题材非常广泛:从平凡的家居物品、车祸和空难的影像、到天主教堂富丽堂皇的内部装饰和购物商场颓圮的空间。对他而言,那些平淡无奇的物件、静寂的建筑物内部或毁灭性的场景象征人类生存的环境。他作品的独特性在于其潇洒的笔触以及单一而带忧郁色彩的主色调,其所创造出光和空间的气氛,引人神游与玄思。他一系列近乎单色的油画创作,体现出一个逐渐被城市发展剖析和取代的自然世界。作者在画布表面上让湿漆的原料随性铺成,不断移动湿漆的原料,把过程中留下的痕迹逐渐构建出梦幻般的图像。画面处于抽象和具象的边缘,展现出环境生态在现代建设下产生的矛盾及不可预测性。

思远近期的作品运用黑色幽默和夸张戏剧性方式构造了一系列具象绘画,探索我们对真理和现实的感知。谎言是化装舞会上的真理。

思远1991年毕业于南洋艺术学院(NAFA); 1995年在英国雷丁大学完成美术研究生文凭;并于2004年在伦敦艺术大学切尔西艺术与设计学院考获艺术硕士学位。

他曾举办过18次个展,包括2021年《与狼共舞》,新加坡AC43画廊;2018年The Mirage幻景 ,新加坡AC43画廊;2014年《国父》,新加坡谁先觉画廊;2012年《巫思远:艺术家驻场计划》,台湾台北关渡美术馆;2012年《Sanctuary 圣所》,澳洲墨尔本Art at St Francis画廊;2012年《The New Cathedral新大教堂》,新加坡南洋艺术学院展厅;2011年《Sanctuary 圣所 》,美国佛蒙特州佛蒙特艺术中心Red Mill展厅;2009年《Boom!轰! 》,新加坡Utterly全然艺术画廊;2007年《House of God上帝之家》,新加坡Utterly全然艺术画廊;2006年《Silence of the Canines犬的沉默》,新加坡Utterly全然艺术画廊;2005年《In-Between异界》,韩国首尔Style Cube Zandari画廊。此外,他也多次代表新加坡参加在澳洲、日本、韩国、菲律宾、马来西亚、英国及美国等地的国际展览。
