Jalon Tan is a Visual Artist from Singapore whose flair for the arts sparked a series of works that reflect fondly on his childhood, where he developed an uninhibited affinity with animals along with the ones he grew up with.

Jalon self-funded his first solo exhibition in 2015. The body of work paid tribute and revealed the enigmatic personality of cats.

Jalon began teaching the craft of traditional drawing and painting from an art studio he founded in 2016. The art programmes crafted were inspired by his own experience as well as influences, which include his background in Chinese Ink Painting.

What started as ad-hoc, one-off workshops have now triumphed into a variety of programmes catering not only to recreational participants but also those who wish to adopt a more comprehensive approach to the craft. 

Jalon also experiments with unconventional mediums, producing conceptual pieces to installation art like the ones exhibited at the PAWsitive Exhibition (2017) for Wellness Pet Food,as well as his sculptural work commissioned for ASUS’s product launch exhibition, COLLISION: “Unleash Your Creative Power” (2018). He is no stranger when it comes to conveying messages that seek to ensnare the senses.

Quek Kiat Sing is a prolific local Chinese ink painter who studied under the tutelage of Chua Ek Kay and Tan Siow Aik.  Kiat Sing juxtaposes modern-day subjects with traditional Chinese Ink to emphasise the relevance of Asian culture in contemporary life. She is a recipient of numerous awards, such as the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, United Overseas Bank Painting of the Year Competition, the Dr Tan Tsze Chor Art Award and the China ASEAN Youth Artwork Creativity Contest.

Kiat Sing twice achieved the Freeman Fellowship at Vermont Studio Centre, USA. She represented Singapore at the ASEAN Cultural Week in Vietnam in 2004 and India-ASEAN Artist residency at Darjeeling, India, in 2012. Additionally, she was selected to provide the artwork for Shenton Way MRT Station under the Land Transport Authority's Art-in-Transit program for the upcoming Thomson Line. 

Kiat Sing has featured her works in many solo and group exhibitions. Her favourite subjects include the lotus ponds, mundane scenes of people and places in Singapore, as well as small animals. With a keen desire to inspire the next generation of artists, she lectures part-time at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore University of Social Science, and Nanyang Technological University.
