2017 南洋书法展

Very uniquely, Chinese brush calligraphy is an amusing fusion of art and writing. Talented individuals, enthusiasts or their masters penned their crafts on rice papers carefully and patiently to showcase their calligraphic works. 

These calligraphers accumulated years upon years of practices and experiences to enhance their skills with their personal touch to reach greater heights in the art.

They constantly devoted much of their times to practice their skills with high self-discipline and great patience to preserve the vanishing art of calligraphy. 

Aesthetically, Chinese brush calligraphy is a form of traditional culture and art expression.  Because of its aesthetical value, certainly there is no lack of followers who are still very keen to get themselves involved in the art of calligraphy. It is very expensive to put up exhibitions from time to time. However, the followers still can obtain excellent source of inspiration and motivation from their masters still practicing the craft.

I was lucky to have a chance to walk into such exhibition on 10 September 2017 one hour before its closing time. 150 calligraphers displayed their works at the largest calligraphy exhibition in Singapore so far. 

I hope that similar exhibitions of that standard can be put up again in the near future for the benefit of those who missed it this time. I had a meaningful time chatting with a few calligraphy masters and artists during the exhibition hours.

They were very accommodative in extending their welcome and to explain to me their experiences, so grateful that I wanted to document the event in my record to show my appreciation to them. Special thanks to the masters, exhibitors and enthusiasts. Their undying efforts in promoting the art of calligraphy would remain fresh in my mind for a long time.
