As the global art scene continues to embrace emerging talents, Fine Collectibles Gallery in Singapore proudly presents the works of two distinctive artists: Barry Yeow and Hoang Duc Dzung. Both artists, though diverse in their approaches and backgrounds, share a commitment to exploring the human experience through their unique artistic lenses
Barry Yeow: A Journey of Redemption and Artistic Discovery
Barry Yeow is a self taught artist born in Singapore. His artistic journey is very distinct and unique, reflecting in his way of creating his experiences and emotions. Yeow’s passion for drawing began in childhood, his life is marked by numerous struggles and run-ins with the law, took a transformative turn in 2011 when he won the Best Technique award at the Yellow Ribbon Art Competition in Singapore. This moment was the beginning of his rebirth, leading him to dedicate himself fully to art and ultimately becoming a gallery owner and art teacher in 2015. Art has been an important element in his life, changing it completely.
Yeow’s works are deeply influenced by the Impressionist movement, with Claude Monet being a significant source of inspiration. His art is characterized by heavily textured mediums and vibrant, lively hues that evoke a sense of spiritual awakening. For Yeow, art is not just a form of expression but a tool for spreading hope and joy. His murals, often found in public spaces, reflect his belief that art can transform environments and uplift spirits. Yeow’s story of redemption, guided by two mentors from Singapore’s art academia, serves as a powerful testament to the healing power of creativity. In recent years, Yeow has gained recognition in the Singaporean art scene, both for his artistic talent and also for his extraordinary life story. His resilience and dedication have made him a well known artist.
Hoang Duc Dzung: The Balance Between Reality and the Ethereal
Alongside Barry Yeow, Fine Collectibles Gallery also features the works of Hoang Duc Dzung, a renowned Vietnamese artist known for his evocative landscapes and nude paintings. Hoang Duc Dzung graduated from the Vietnam University of Fine Arts in 1998. Then, Dzung further honed his craft by obtaining a Master's Degree in 2009. Today, he is a lecturer at the National University of Art Education in Vietnam, where he imparts his knowledge to the next generation of artists.Dzung’s artwork is distinguished by its exploration of the delicate balance between the real and the virtual, the seen and unseen. His use of monochromatic tones, often set in dimly lit spaces, creates a dreamlike atmosphere in his paintings. Whether capturing the quiet stillness of dawn or the fleeting moments of twilight, Dzung’s compositions evoke a sense of calm and introspection.
His work has attracted the attention of collectors worldwide, with pieces held in private collections as well as government and commercial organizations across Hong Kong, Indonesia, the UAE, Japan, Australia, Europe, and the United States. Dzung’s ability to convey the beauty of the transient moments in life has made him a sought-after artist in the international art community. Fine Collectibles Gallery celebrates artistic diversity and personal resilience. Barry Yeow and Hoang Duc Dzung, even if coming from different cultural backgrounds and artistic traditions, both offer profound insights into the human condition.
