Discover Ong Kim Seng’s Art
To view Ong Kim Seng’s paintings, you can visit these place.
Last Saturday was my third plein air session at Botanic Gardens with Mr Ong in as many years. The scene at the symphony lake was rather bland under the hot sun. As usual Mr Ong has done his homework scouting for the best angles. Through his unique artistic eyes he pointed out shapes and colours hidden from us. His instruction was simple: you have to simplify the scene, squint to see values. Then he finished off exclaiming: this is so nice. So that’s Mr Ong’s art, making extraordinary out of the mundane. He taught careful observations and insisted on painting outdoors to learn from nature in its full glory. Few artists have such wisdom and insight.
