“Chen’s work is often mentioned in the same breath as the emergence of a distinct regional style, characterised by a synthesis of Eastern and Western painting techniques and approaches. This is seen, for example, in the 1960 painting East Coast Vendor (above), which transposes Chen’s mastery and skill in portrait painting, honed from years of Western academic art training, to a tropical setting, with attention paid to the detailed patterning of batik clothes and headscarves worn by the subjects.”

Chen is new to me. That painting’s quite wonderful — especially the individuality obvious in the faces.

Thanks for the introduction to Georgette Chen. Not only hadn’t I seen any of her work, but I’d never seen art by anybody from Singapore. I learned more about Georgette Chen in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgette_Chen.
