"Colours of the Sea" at Public Art Space

Pan Pacific Singapore is delighted to collaborate with contemporary Marine Artist Anthony Tan to present “Colours of the Sea”, a journey to the depths of the Ocean.

“Colours of the Sea” is a collection of mixed medium on canvas and paper depicting the beauty of the Ocean as characterised by the mystery of uncertainty, yet the life force behind millions of animals and plants. The water reflects the colours of the life within and around it, creating a palette of vibrant shades. The masterpieces are available for viewing and purchase till 30 June.

Public Art Space, 220 square metres of dedicated space on level two of the hotel overlooking The Atrium is dedicated to showcasing collections by local artists with exhibitions rotating on a quarterly basis. The decision to create Public Art Space is based on the hotel’s commitment to the local community; supporting the local Arts in the most accessible way possible and making it available for public enjoyment.

In line with the hotel’s community vision to develop and sustain worthy community projects, three pieces from each exhibition is contributed to Assisi Hospice, the hotel’s adopted charity since 2004. Assisi Home & Hospice, an outreach service of Mount Alvernia Hospital, is a bedded hospice and daycare facility for care of individuals with cancer.

Artist’s profile
Born in 1952, Anthony Tan Yeow Seong professes that his skills in art are self-taught. His passion for marine art is a result of his forty years of diving, fishing and boating. His expression and interpretation of the beauty and wonder of the ocean is manifested through mixed mediums of charcoal, pastels, aquarelle, acrylics and oils on paper or canvas.  His techniques are mixed, a showcase of his spontaneous style of expression and appreciation of freedom. According to Anthony, “That’s the freedom I want for my Art and I don’t want a style to limit my work. I want a work to define itself. It has the last say”.
