Goh Beng Kwan (b. Indonesia, 1937) Endless Trip, 2000s
Est: RM3,000 - RM6,000
It looks like the lines created using a thick brush of grey forms at an unknown starting point. Like a trip taken with no starting and no ending. And the next thing you know you are already on an endless journey. It went on and on. We all have experienced an endless trip especially when it becomes a routine in our daily life hence it will only change when we take a step back and recalibrate. This abstract work probably depicts the magnificence of the Mekong River, the world's twelfth longest river and the third longest in Asia, with an estimated length of 4909km. Goh Beng Kwan is a Singapore art legend, winning the Cultural Medallion in 1989, the 1st Prize of the UOB Painting of the Year in 1982, 1st Prize Australian Business Council and Australian High Commission awards, silver medal in the Salon des Artistes Francais (1985), and the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI) residency in 2006. His baptism in art was a virtual 10-year personal tutelage by two great Singapore art pioneers Chen Wenhsi and Cheong Soo Pieng, learning Chinese ink and calligraphy. Studies at the Art Students League in New York, under Sidney Gross, changed his course to abstract expressionism, while a Provincetown workshop in Massachusetts put him in touch with collagist Leo Manso. At STPI, he also met paper-maker Richard Hungerford. In celebration of his 85th year of life, celebrated pioneer generation artist and Cultural Medallion recipient Goh Beng Kwan held a landmark solo exhibition showcasing 85 of his works from 20-29 May 2022.

Est: RM8,000 - RM15,000
This abstract work depicts the Trang province. Trang’s main attraction is the beaches and its affordable seafood cuisine. Its clear water drives tourists to go snorkelling, diving, kayaking and many more. It was probably painted during the artist's trip to Hatyai, or upon returning. Goh Beng Kwan is a Singapore art legend, winning the Cultural Medallion in 1989, the 1st Prize of the UOB Painting of the Year in 1982, 1st Prize Australian Business Council and Australian High Commission awards, silver medal in the Salon des Artistes Francais (1985), and the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI) residency in 2006.

Goh Beng Kwan (b. Indonesia, 1937) River Of No Return
Est: RM7,000 - RM13,000
By itself, the title, River Of No Return, sounds ominous. But philosophically, it can be taken as a journey of life with all its vicissitudes. Or more likely, love, as in separation. The title is also from a title of an American Western film and the theme song, starring Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum in the lead roles. Marilyn belted the song in a saloon bar, and the famous exclamation, Wail-a-ree, has the same connotation as the Hokkien ‘Walau-eh’, meaning ‘Oh, my Dad!’ Goh Beng Kwan was more inspired by the Mandarin version (which had been sung by Yao Lee (one of the 7 Shanghai Greats), and pioneering Taiwanese chanteuse Yu Ya, and you could well imagine him playing the tune on his harmonica while painting this. The painting is rendered more like musical notes, with a descending zig-zag and a rhythm of strokes sometimes abrupt and sometimes more gentle. Notice, Beng Kwan’s signature, in Chinese, placed strategically at the bottom, as a denouement. The song, as in the painting, can also be taken as a reflection of the passing of time, how fast one’s youth flies past. Goh Beng Kwan is a Singapore art legend, winning the Cultural Medallion in 1989, the 1st Prize of the UOB Painting of the Year in 1982, 1st Prize Australian Business Council and Australian High Commission awards, silver medal in the Salon des Artistes Francais (1985), and the Singapore Tyler Print Institute residency in 2006.
