About the Winner: :

Tan Haur (b. 1963) a Singaporean photographer and a multi-disciplinary artist, is well known for his multi-faceted work in the art of digital imaging, photography, painting, and underwater sketching. He graduated from the Australian National University (Master of Visual arts) with a high distinction in digital imaging and photography in 2007. Tan draws inspiration from the natural environment and nurtures an interest in Buddhist philosophy and practice, humanity and its many facets, and artificial intelligence in the making of art. To gain new perspectives, Tan immerses himself into different environments, experiencing the differences, and experimenting with different mediums and technologies in art creation and interaction, continuously in search of the relationship between Nature, Culture, Art, Media, and Technology. He emphasizes strongly the process of creating art and the journey of experiencing the subject matter; which is equally important as the final presentation. Tan Haur has received numerous distinctive arts awards and art contribution medals from France, USA, Australia, Japan, and Singapore, including the Merit award of Interior Design as a Contemporary Art Medium Competition, from the National Museum of Singapore in 2009, the Community art program award from the Ministry of Information, Communications and Arts, Singapore in 2007, First Prize Art Award from Burgmann Mixed Media Art Competition, Australia in 2006, World Wide Web Award of Excellence, Art Space 2000 International, the USA in 2005, the President's Award (Seiko Epson Japan) and the Public Art Business Excellency Award/ epSITE Digital Imaging academy and Gallery in 2004.

Speaking Wall
大自然与人的共创系列一
If you look closely enough, walls can speak.
If you look closely enough, walls recorded messages from weather, nature and culture.
If you look closely enough, walls are visual diary of every single day life.
If you look closely enough, walls tell you their past and present.
If you look closely enough, you will see things that you don‘t see.
If you look closely enough, walls reveal the secret in life.
If you look closely enough, wear & tear are part of the process in life.
If you look close enough, nothing stay permanent, life is constantly changing.
Life is change. Only one thing is permanent, and that is change itself.

ILLUSTRATION 插画艺术

My illustration work is sort of a mixture of elements since Design College. On one hand it is a dialogue between me and the subject matters and on the other it is the traditional practice of just working with the materials. I like to get lost in the work and try to find out what the paper or digital canvas wants me to do with it.
