The Art of Collaboration

Congrats to all art students and art educators on their collaborative effort and exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore! We are all very proud of this meaningful event and enjoy the journey of creation and interaction.


As an artist & educator, I enjoy working through art collaboration and self-designed art-making processes to obtain unique artistic lingo. It fuels my art, pushes me by understanding a subject matter from different perspectives, and helps me grow by challenging me through group participation, interaction, and interpretation.


In this series of work, I worked with two separate groups of students to create two-dimensional spaces made up of elements that resonate between the familiar and the unknown. By employing different perspectives, I try to encourage an experiential view of the mindscape, as the landscape that exists for the viewer in the physical world, where sightlines are constantly shifting.

I was inspired by the NGS art collection “Under construction” created by Leng Joon Wong. His painting has an immense power to draw viewers into his subject matter through the painted perspective line works. I intended to focus on the art-making processes rather than the final outcome, so we started on-site sketching with pencil and Chinese ink on paper materials as a seeding unit, followed by planting the group's mindscape by working with acrylic paint on canvases. These painted mindscapes had grown organically and become a rhythmic labyrinth to enter and travel through, wherein the viewer experiences his or her own personal associations.

Sewing Happiness: A Series of Fun & Simple Fabric Collage Projects for Learning Great & Living Well.


Project of 2017


“Blossom Colours of Life” is a community art project co-created by Singaporean artist, Tan Haur, with patients of Jurong Community Hospital. Strolling down memory lane with the patients, the artist gathered heart-warming stories of senior participants through simple heartfelt conversations and craft sessions and translated them into a visual journal of 15 colourful fabric collage artworks. The art-making process encourages patients to revisit those nostalgic scenes of yesteryears and reminisce about their favourite food, the simple life and the good old kampong days. Stories were stitched together to form intricate fabric collages of iconic landmarks like the former National Theatre and objects like Tingkat and rotary dial phone – each rekindling a connection between the past and the present. The pattern-rich art pieces adorn the walls of Jurong Community Hospital, bringing to life stories and experiences of our shared heritage and history that would allow patients to relive fond memories and be inspired with hope and optimism.

[ About the Artist ]
Multidisciplinary Singaporean artist, Tan Haur, spent most of his childhood at his grandmother’s dressmaking studio near Boat Quay playing with stacks of fabrics and nitty-gritty sewing tools. Inspired by his mother (a seamstress) and wife (an arts and crafts trainer), Tan incorporates sewing and crafting in his artistic practices. Tan graduated from the Australian National University (College of Arts & Social Sciences) in 2007 and has since worked with various social groups and organizations on collaborative art projects.

Blossom Colours of Life 绽放生命的色彩

A community art project lead by artist: Tan Haur (Singapore)

Pre-exhibition release:

 While it may appear as a sentimental longing or wistful affection for Singapore’s past, I think this work is much more than that. I hope that as a viewer navigates this series of artworks, they will leave with a more in-depth understanding of the core value of the past, and have a profound impact on the future. In a nutshell, these are genuine Singaporeans' stories, flashbacks and words of wisdom from our fellow seniors. They’re a constructive force giving us chance to reflect and think through what we feel are identity markers as individuals, as a community, as a multicultural Singaporean society.

 The vision and mission of the "Blossom Colours of Life" are to create and exhibit a variety of shapes and colours to tell a story as well as provide soothing comfort to one's eyes and soul within the healthcare environment. Through dialogues and basic interactive art and craft sessions, senior participants shared their memories and experiences of good old days through imagery-led mirroring and storytelling. Right after several workshops, with the narrative information, I moved on to stitch the stories together to form a visual journal with colourful fabric collage.

 This specific project has involved invited seniors who seek for greater community engagement, especially those staying in the rehabilitation ward, some with early symptoms of dementia, to reconnect and create memories-art without worrying too much about professional drafting, cutting and sewing. The “Blossom Colours of Life” workshops received a tremendous response and I am so grateful it had paved the path towards the completion of the final artworks for exhibition.

 Last but not least, this series of work will continue to spark and inspire dialogue between patients and professional staff at the rehabilitation ward (Jurong Community Hospital) after the exhibition. My sincere appreciation to all the participants, the volunteers, art assistant Mui and the organiser (JurongHealth) in making this art project possible. Thank you very much.

~ Tan Haur

The art of Woodblock printing 木版画


Woodblock printing in Japan (Japanese: 木版画, moku hanga) is a technique best known for its use in the ukiyo-e artistic genre; however, it was also used very widely for printing books in the same period. Woodblock printing had been used in China for centuries to print books, long before the advent of movable type, but was only widely adopted in Japan surprisingly late, during the Edo period (1603-1867).
