As one of the founders of the Nanyang movement, Liu Kang played a key role in the development of Singapore’s first celebrated and locally conceived artistic style. His large body of artworks express a unique Southeast Asian identity and are distinctive through its use of bright colours and bold outlines.

Our speaker for this talk is Durriya Dohadwala, a independent art writer whose articles have been published in print and online magazines and journals. She is a volunteer with Art Outreach and a docent at the Singapore Art Museum, where she guides contemporary and modern Asian art exhibitions.
