PARADISE 2008: Localised abstract landscape paintings by Ben Puah

Another speed painting exercise that it may sound, Ben Puah, the 1
st Prize winner in the Beaujolais Nouveau art competition, will be attempting 11 paintings in 45 minutes before a live audience. Upon his mental reaction to his recent trip to China, he plans to seek for another “space”, the audience’s paradise, which he will be painting alongside a Chinese musical instrument performance by a musician from the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.

 

Although the works will be intentionally painted, the Post Surreal Monopolyist says the secret – is that the whole process of his movements, strokes and the music will allow his audience to reflect upon their own inner-self, hence finding their individual paradise. As a way of a mind’s interpretation of its environment, Ben Puah believes every person that witness the paintings-in-progress assumes objects from the art and perceives the visual effects differently.
