Mixed media collage

Condition: Very good

Goh Beng Kwan (Singaporean, b. 1937) was one of the earliest post-war artists in Singapore to travel to the United States to pursue an art education at the Arts Students League of New York. Today, Goh is recognised for his contributions in collage, particularly for his incorporation of a wide range of cultural materials and motifs used to explore issues around cultural representation, urbanism, and identity.
Goh Beng Kwan’s artistic practice developed under the twin developments of urbanisation and industrialisation that transformed cities throughout the mid-20th century.
This work from 1995 is a good example of the artist’s oeuvre, using collage to collapse different locales and times,the changing urban environment, and the broader art world.
