Huang Wei (1914 -- unknown) was a painter. He was could-have-been who never was. Huang Wei didn't paint like his contemporaries. He never went to Paris, not even Bali. He painted quietly for years in his studio in Joo Chiat. And then one day, he disappeared.
He left behind a total of seventy six paintings and a few journals, discovered in the attic of an abandoned shophouse. So who was Huang Wei? What do these haunting portraits of children tellus about Singapore, art and history?
Join curator, Nora Samosir as she assembles the life of the artist through these paintings,journals, letters, oral history interviews, and in so doing, paints a portrait of a heart break.
How do you calculate a departure? Not by the hours or minutes but a moment. An instant when the decision was made. To leave.
