About the Artist:
Eve Ong:
The works of artist, Eve Ong was highly sort after even before she graduated from LaSalle-SIA in mid-2005. Since then she has had three solo exhibitions which mainly focused on the themes and concepts of Self.
Eve gathered her inspirations from the complexities of self. She uses various styles to convey the visual elements by portraying self in a very surrealistic manner.
Life is complex and the expression “more than meets the eye” is a given for many a situation and circumstance. “More than meets the eye” also adequately expresses Eve Ong’s art. Life is not as simple as what it seems. There are lots of hidden motives and agendas.
Eve Ong’s paintings have a message, which can be missed if not carefully examined. The adage “A picture speaks a thousand words” therefore adequately describes her work. Art is more than a picture; it is a poem, a message and map to a destiny. “Oh that’s a nice painting!” is insufficient for this artist. She wants the observer to think and reflect about the meaning and purpose of life.
Her paintings from the third solo exhibition were marketed between S$ 8,000-S$12,000 a piece. 80% of the works sold have been acquired by various foreign investors or institutions.
