Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts Collection  
 
The third installment of this exhibition features artworks from NAFA's permanent collection, which includes works by alumni and renowned artists such as Cheong Soo Pieng, Lim Tze Peng, See Cheen Tee, Tan Choon Ghee and Chua Mia Tee. "Nanyang" or "south seas" as a region of trade and exchange fuelled the imagination of the pioneer artists who adapted Chinese and Western painting techniques to be suitable for depicting the local scenery. Their involvement with the academy as the only arts institution for visual arts from the 1930s had no doubt influenced the arts scene in a substantial way and earned its place in an important chapter of Singapore's art history.

Srithongdee will share with us his views pertaining to our belief that heroes are brave; they are the ones who set free human. In the history, hero’s existence has been created from the truth and the imagination of human experience. Do heroes really exist?
