Artist Profile

Loi Cai Xiang is a Singapore-based visual artist who graduated with a Diploma in Fine Art, Western Painting (Distinction) from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. He works within the themes of existentialism, identity, and memories, focusing on narratives of surrealism to allow the unconscious mind to express itself. His oil paintings are deeply introspective and greatly in-fluenced by the aesthetics of the Old Masters. Conscientious brushwork and meticulous color mixing have become part of his approach to preserve the vision of his mind’s eye. He is a recipi-ent of Tan Chay Bing and Ngee Ann Kongsi Scholarships and has exhibited in art exhibitions in Jakarta, India, Hong Kong and South Korea. He was awarded the prestigious Cliftons Art Prize in 2016 and has held two solo exhibitions in Singapore with Chan + Hori Contemporary in 2017 and 2019. His works are held by private collectors and corporations such as Cliftons and Asia Capital Reinsurance.
