ELITE PAINTERS 2009, 1 Aug - 4 Oct The exhibition hopes to tell a story about the livelihood of the people in Singapore since the 1950s, how they are driven exclusively by the need to survive. Elite painters Koeh Sia Yong, Lai Kui Fang, Wan Soon Kam, Chua Mia Tee, Choo Keng Kwang, Tan Choh Tee, Fan Shao Hua, Lee Boon Wang, Lui Cheng Thak and Andrew Yeo show us the different ways people eke out a living. For those who were born earlier, these images evoke indentification and trigger nostalgia. For those who were born later, they have the privilege to catch a glimpse of the past through the eyes of our Elite Painters. This exhibition is also dedicated to children. When they are old enough to understand these paintings one day, will see that the paintings were painted for them too, in the hope and belief that they and their offspring will live in a better world, and that what happened to their grandparents and parents will never happen again. The struggles, toil and perspiration of the early immigrants brought about the wealth of Singapore. In the words of our first President Yusof Ishak,"the immigrants were not locusts who had their fill and left a desert behind. They found a barren desert and left behind a throbbing, dynamic and prosperous city. The art works at the exhibition would provide a powerful testimony to the trials and triumphs of the tenacious human spirit.

ELITE PAINTERS 2008, 18 Oct - 31 Oct “It was the worst of times, it was the best of times” - This seemingly contradictory and ambivalent proclamation probably characterised best the selected artists and their works for this fine art exhibition. The manifestation of the human spirit is most acute under the harshest and trying social circumstances. Most heroes are human beings endowed not with supernatural abilities but the will and determination to rise above doing the ordinary. These are the qualities that we can all learn and seek to emulate. These are the qualities that we can nurture and encourage in our young. It is precisely because these qualities can be emulated that we regard life-changing ordeals and tribulations monumental to the psychological and social development of people. Elite Painters™ 2008: History of the Human Spirit illuminates moments of brilliance that are comforting and inspiring to see.

18 Aug - 30 Oct 2007 - A Commemorative Event to Mark on Your Calendar. Come August 2007, Eagle's Dream Art Gallery will be exhibiting some paintings of late artist, Tay Bak Koi. This particular series of works from Tay Bak Koi's personal collection has not been viewed by the public before and promises to be an eye opener and will build towards a meaningful collection for collectors and fans alike. Collectors and supporters can expect to be treated to a galore of works, a short slide show and even paraphemalia which will be on sale on the launch of this event to commemorate his achievements as the purveyor of fine arts. 'Reminiscences of Tay Bak Koi' is a series of paintings culminated from Bak Koi's forty years of art practice. It showcases the ethereal quality of his paintings and is mesmerizing because of the efforts honed to develop his expressions in different styles and cultural settings. Bak Koi chose to keep some of his works for his own collection because they represented his milestones in his artistic works. Much of Bak Koi's paintings emanate from memories, an emancipation that serves much poetic justice today even though he has retreated to the netherworld. He fuses reality and imagination in ground works that has long lasting impressions. The iridescent, candy colours of Bak Koi's paintings often accompanied the rustic coffee shops, putrid wet markets and exudes an old-world charm that is timeless in appeal. The former landscape of his depictions is surreal in their unassuming manners withour imposing a stately arrogance for orderliness in the post-colonial days of Singapore. 'Reminiscences' provided the sustenance towards the masterpieces created throughout Bak Koi's lifetime and promises another close encounter with the evergreen artist.

Michael Tan continues to lead in the field of Singapore Art, with successful record sales in the year ended 2005. By popular demand, Eagle’s Eye Art Gallery is organizing a tea session with one of the most promising painter in Southeast Asia. Art collectors are captivated by Michael’s paintings which are richly detailed and gloriously coloured, with most of the themes set in the realm of rusticity. He scrutinizes his subjects with the eye of a microbiologist, then gives a glittering brocade-like quality to the minutiae of kampong life. Drawn with cheerful spontaneity that parallels the happy cheer of kampong folks, Michael’s paintings speak to us of family and tradition, warmth and vibrancy, harmony and contentment. Ms Joy Loh, Art Director of Eagle’s Eye Art Gallery and the Exhibition Curator, commented, “Michael Tan is our upcoming most promising Elite Painter.
