DESCRIPTION:https://www.fridae.asia/sc/agenda/8192\n\nAbout the show:\n\nIn
  the last decade of his life\, Ng Eng Teng (1934-2001) revived an interest
  in drawing which had largely been abandoned in the mid-1960s. Firstly in 
 private life drawing sessions with artist Teng Nee Cheong in 1990\, and th
 en with the informal Group 90 at the LaSalle-SIA College of the Arts from 
 1991\, Ng would meticulously craft sensitive and sensual nudes ‘executed
  by means of delicate lines and intricate shading… (where) coloured penc
 ils enabled Eng Teng to render the flesh tones and to achieve a richness a
 nd delicacy of treatment… through to something freer and more profound a
 nd personal\, drawing more from his feelings than with a view to anatomica
 l accuracy.’ (Constance Sheares) Ng would attribute the inspiration for 
 his ceramic masterpieces of this late period\, the Torso-to-Face sculpture
 s\, to his life drawing. \n\nNg Eng Teng’s studio ceramics for sculpture
  or functional use would form the backbone of his artistic practice ever s
 ince his return to Singapore in 1966\, where he would set up a workshop an
 d studio in his family residence. This selection of pottery\, ceramic figu
 rines and a few small works in bronze or ciment fondu derive largely from 
 the 70s and 80s and will represent the last gallery showing by the family.
  \n\nAbout the artist:\n\nA graduate from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts
  in 1961\, Ng Eng Teng pursued an industrial pottery course at North Staff
 ordshire College of Technology\, UK\, and also studied studio pottery at S
 toke-on-Trent School of Art (1962-63) and Farnham School of Art (1963-64).
  Following his first solo show in 1970\, he has exhibited extensively both
  locally and abroad\, and has been commissioned for several monumental scu
 lptures. In 1981\, he was conferred the prestigious Cultural Medallion and
  obtained an ASEAN Cultural Award for Visual Arts (Sculpture) in 1990. In 
 1998\, the National University of Singapore conferred upon him an Honorary
  Doctor of Letters. Following his untimely death in 2001\, his legacy may 
 now be viewed at the Ng Eng Teng Gallery in NUS Museums\, the most compreh
 ensive collection of works by a single artist in Singapore.\n\nDo call ahe
