Singapore, 13th November 2014 – MoCA@Loewen is honored to present the Art
Talk - Grand Solo SEA (South East Asia) Exhibition Tour by master Chinese ink
painter Liu Kuo-Sung with the title of Revolution/ Renaissance – The Art of Liu
Kuosung.
Liu Kuo-Sung (1932) was born in Shandong, China. He graduated from Taiwan
Normal University in 1956. Liu Kuo-Sung achieved many breakthroughs and
revealed a constant pursuit of changes in his artistic career. He founded the Fifth
Moon Group and initiated a trend of modernist art in Taiwan. During the early stages
of the Republic of China, His slogan at that time was “Modernization of Chinese
Painting”, he aimed to begin a revolution of Chinese painting and establish a new
tradition for Chinese painting in the 20th century. Liu’s fusion of ancient Chinese ink
painting makes flexible use of multivariate techniques and his new style of “Modern
Chinese Ink painting” made him the most renowned artist of contemporary ink.
As the father of “Modern Ink Painting” and the pioneer of “Modern Chinese
Painting”, Liu has made great contribution to modern ink painting. In this exhibition,
he formed a new ink and wash symbol system, turning away from the traditional
“Rthetoric of the Line” that emphasized the black lines to express what he called
“Tension of the White Line”. Most of the lines in his paintings are white lines on
black mountains or black rocks – all of which has symbolic meaning – in a “white for
objects, black for background” mode. In his latest series, the combination of
techniques for water and sun/ moon has achieved the highest peak in his artistic career.
All the inventions and techniques expressed comprehensively in one
The exhibition will be toured in four art museums across Asia, started from
National History museum of Taiwan, continues at MoCA@Loewen, Singapore and
National Museum of Jakarta, ends at National Visual Arts Gallery of Kuala Lumpur.
Up to date, this exhibition is considered the largest show of Liu Kuo-Sung. The
exhibition consists over 80 masterpieces of his recent artworks. The exhibition will
bring the revolutionary ink painting experience to collectors and art enthusiasts. The
exhibition is free to public; it will last till 1st March 2015.
About MoCA@Loewen:
The Museum of Contemporary Arts was established by Linda Gallery after attaining the location under the Request-for-Interest (RFI) for the development of integrated museum and art facilities (IMAF) through an inter-agency Committee chaired by the National Heritage Board (NHB) with members from the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA) back in mid-2009. Its vision is to be a centre for bringing the public the very finest of contemporary art from across the region. As the only museum in Singapore devoted entirely to exhibiting contemporary works of art, continuously hosting a variety of cutting –edge exhibitions and an eclectic collection of contemporary sculptures, MoCA@Loewen has placed itself as one of the most cognizant museums that provides an array of artworks that reflect the present trends and developments of the Asian art world. Set in the lush surrounds of Loewen Road, the cutting-edge artworks contrast magnificently with the colonial-era building in which they are housed in.
MoCA@Loewen is located at 27A LOEWEN ROAD SINGAPORE 248839. OPEN TO PUBLIC DAILY FROM 11AM TO 7PM
