“For as long as I can remember, art has been a major part of my life,” said Gloria Keh, 70, an artist from Singapore.
“I came from a poor family and we had only the basics but there were always paintings on our walls as my late father, Martin Fu, was an oil painter.
And he painted on inexpensive wooden boards as he could not afford canvases.”
“My father was my first art teacher and as a child, growing up with the smell of turpentine, I served like his apprentice: I cleaned his brushes, sat for his portraits and watched him paint for hours on end.
From this impressionable age, I witnessed how the practice of art rewarded the artist with peace. My father had little in terms of luxuries but he was always at peace with himself. I believe art then gave him a wonderful escape from his everyday financial problems, as it does now, for me, providing me with the challenges my personality needs to excel and the solitude my soul needs to thrive.”
In 2008, Gloria founded a non profit charity outreach program CIRCLES OF LOVE, using her art in the service to humanity. From that year, all monies from the sales of her artworks are donated to charities, usually of the buyer’s choice.
Said Gloria: “Art has taught me that I have enough and although I respect that many artists need to sell their art to survive and make a living; this is not my scene.”
For most of her adult working life, Gloria worked as a journalist, not as a painter. But at age 42, she returned full time to art, and studied mandala art and symbolism for over 10 years in Melbourne, Australia.
“People have asked me about my rewards from making art. My reward comes from the actual art process. The very absorbing practice of creation is my reward as making art is fulfilling my soul’s purpose,” explained Gloria.
And this purpose entails making art for various reasons. For example for peace, both world peace and for personal inner peace. As well as for Mother Earth - for the environment with the hope to help save the planet.
“As artists,” said Gloria, “ we should be grateful for the gift of art. And this art making gift must be put into good use, shared and dedicated for higher purposes.”
This is why a few years ago Gloria began to organize various online exhibitions for peace. It all started with Aqua Peace (dedicated to saving our oceans amd marine life), went on to Cosmic Peace and creating the awareness for peace in the cosmos/universe; and finally in August 2021, with the launching of Two Countries for Peace.
The latter featured artists from the Republic of South Korea and Singapore, who joined hands across cyberspace to commemorate the two countries’ national days that fall each year in the month of August. The project was in collaboration with premier artist Yoo Choong Yeul from South Korea.
This year, Two Countries For Peace became an offline event, by the kind courtesy and generosity of Mr Han Sang Jun. The exhibition was inaugurated on May 20th at Mr Han’s new gallery in South Korea.
Simultaneously, a four member group exhibition was also hosted by Mr Han at his new gallery. The event ‘When The Stars Shine’ showcased the works of four international artists; namely Ms Yoo Lim Kim and Mr Yoo Choong Yeul from South Korea, Mr Paulo Duarte Filipe (Portugal/UK) and Gloria Keh (Singapore).
Each of the four artists presented 12 original artworks including 6 installations by Paulo Duarte Filipe.
“It was a privilege for me to showcase 12 artworks from my new Environmental Series that were specially painted for this group exhibition”, said Gloria, who is no newcomer to the international exhibition scene. She has participated in over 100 art exhibitions and has won 18 international art awards.
“The environment is ever present but sadly many take it for granted. They fail to realise how important it is to maintain a good environment. To protect and care for the environment and in doing so help to save our Mother Earth, for the generations to come,” affirmed Gloria.
“Hence, this amazing opportunity to be able to exhibit not just artworks but messages and pleas for peace and mindfulness of our environment, is truly a wonderful blessing for me. That my art can be used for the Greater Good and in doing so, fulfill my soul’s purpose.”
“With all this in mind, one’s heart can only be filled with gratitude,” concluded Gloria.
