Marvin Chan is a story-teller of contemporary themes, seamlessly and aggressively moving into art from advertising, but the relative newcomer even made it to the Art Stage Singapore. This work, a special commission, first featured in the Henry Butcher Art Auction on October 28, 2012, and sold at the artist’s then record price of RM9,350. It depicts Krishna’s muse, Radha, yearning for her lover-boy, and imagining him in her dreams. Self-taught, Marvin Chan broke into the art scene in his first solo, First Harvest, at a2 Gallery in Penang in 2007, followed by Inconsequential Consequences of Hope at the Wei-Ling Gallery in 2010. He was given a residency at the Vermont Studio Centre in the United States in 2010.
