Goh Beng Kwan, (b. 1937, Indonesia) was born in 1937 in Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia and resettled in Singapore in 1945. His formative studies under ‘pioneer masters’ Dr. Chen Wen Hsi and Cheong Soo Pieng in the 1950s instilled in him an abiding appreciation of Asian art traditions.
A formidable artistic figure with more than 50 years of practice, Han Sai Por (b.1943, Singapore) is one of Asia’s leading modern sculptors and a recipient of Singapore’s Cultural Medallion Award in 1995. Her experiences have shaped her aesthetic language of understated, geometric, and organic forms; marble sculptures appear pliant, making for instantly recognisable works that speak of her years of experience.
A 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, Entang Wiharso is widely regarded for his unique depictions of contemporary life that employ a dramatic visual language, creating artworks that exist in relation to the mythologies of a centuries-old animist past and the high-speed, hyper-connected lifestyle of the 21st century. His personal reflections and social critique are apparent in the works that he has developed with STPI.
