open air", and is particularly

Renoir once did!

Olga Bliznetsova
Olga Bliznetsova, Russian, has been living and
painting in Singapore for the last 7 years. Her
recent series of paintings reflect her love for tropical
nature and features some of Singapore's landmark
landscapes. Olga will share her story of how she
became an artist, what challenges she faces, and
what keeps her going on her chosen path.
"I've been fascinated by lush tropical greenery and
trees since I first came to Singapore. My admiration
of nature has now found its reflection in the series
of paintings featuring marvellous rain trees with
ferns and other amazing plants that I've come
across in Singapore's parks. I was greatly inspired
while exploring the wonders of tropical nature - its
beauty and bright colours."

“Dabbling in drawing and painting provides Vincent with a creative outlet. When
away from the easel and not indulging in his other leisurely pursuits, Vincent is a
corporate lawyer in private practice.”

During the talk, William will share with us his art making process as well as the
role of art in his life. He will also touch on nature, cats and the thematic study of

Counterpoint

Counterpoint
by Joy Abigail Ho
The video explores the relationship between audio and visual in Steve Reich’s
Vermont Counterpoint. A medley of animated visual motifs chronologically
translates the minimalist music into a state of visual harmony within the
characteristics of the counterpoint.
The piece was a collaboration effort with Spanish Flutist Roberto Alvarez,
culminating in a live performance at the Esplanade in 2011.

Picture this: sitting with your
sketchbook on your lap, the sun
warming your back as you sip
from a glass of creamy, ice-cold
piña colada.
Wrapped in ethereal bliss, you
give a gentle sigh of pleasure,
pick up your pencil, and begin
sketching the beautiful sunset
before you.
