The Drawing Room & Episodes from Art Studio (2016)

The Drawing Room & Episodes from Art Studio is a filmic exploration of the text, characters and narratives from Yeng Pway Ngon’s novel, Art Studio. The film meditates on the practice of life drawing, and moves from the snug art studio to the wide corridors of the newly opened National Gallery Singapore. Chapters of Singapore Modern Art adorn the freshly painted walls of the gallery, and conjure stories of the passing generation portrayed in Yeng’s Art Studio.
