Therefore I Am - The Making of A Portrait

Despite eight years in the art business, Artesan is relentless in its search across all corners of the pan-Asian market for genuine talent. This time around, we are delighted to present a young budding talent, our very own homegrown Singaporean: Denise Jillian Tan. By professionally managing young artists at the start of their early career, the gallery hopes to instill professionalism in the individual, as well as assist, motivate and support budding talents in the development of their artistic career.

In order to instill art appreciation in the general public, Artesan has always believed it has to start with art education. The evolution of most aspiring artists can be a long, arduous journey. It takes industry and determination. Aside from art education, the artists have to draw inspiration from their own familiar environment. The more experimental they are, and the more they practice their art, the more they are likely to find their own artistic style and identity. Therefore, the show not only aims to present the artist and her works, but to present her in a personal setting, showcasing a survey of more than thirty of her works. The presentation style hopes to raise public awareness on the challenges and developmental stages involved in the evolution of a visual artist.
