David Chan is an established painter from Singapore whose works are observations on social issues pertaining to human behaviour in modern times. On offer here is an early piece by the artist titled Sunrise, executed when the artist was only 22 years of age while he was attending LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts. Focusing on the nuanced transition of light and shadow, Sunrise depicts an image of a girl with her back turned towards the viewer, reminiscent of a memory. A Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art, First Class Honours) graduate of Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, David Chan held his first solo exhibition titled Genetic Wonderland in 2004 gaining much critical and public acclaim. He was also winner of the 23rd UOB Painting Of The Year – Representational Medium Category Award in that same year. Among his solo exhibitions are Every Trick Only Needs one Truth, Art Seasons Gallery, Singapore (2013), Ego States, RKFA Kuala Lumpur (2011), and Hybrid Society -Chapter 1: The Infant Cycle, Art Seasons Gallery, Beijing (2008). In 2016, he was invited to participate in the 5th Singapore Biennale, Atlas Of Mirrors, where he created a vast twenty-three-meter outdoor sculpture on the National Museum of Singapore lawn.
