Yen Chua - The Arctic Fox 2015
acrylic and charcoal on canvas 92cm x 92cm S$2500

Yen Chua presents her Over the Rainbow series at Affordable Art this year . Drawing inspiration from Judy Garland's famous song, it shows an artist deeply passionate about animals, wildlife and nature who hopes that the paintings will raise awareness about the plight of these endangered species. Rendered in dusky charcoal and enlivened with acrylic colour, her animals have wit, personality and character that will endear them to viewers.

With so many artists, we're only bringing about half these works there, but let me know which ones might tickle your fancy! I can arrange for a viewing after the fair. Call me at 94872006 (Keng Hock) for more information and/or reservations!

Yen Chua is an artist, art therapist and educator. She works predominantly with acrylic, charcoal and ink. Her mixed media artworks are a vivid portrayal of the surreal, mythical and magical realm. They are echoes of her different mental states, dreams and aspirations, displaying her diverse concerns ranging from the need to save our delicate ecosystem to the aspirations of perfection and enlightenment.
