Abstract figures intertwine in an intimate embrace in this striking painting by Jeremy Ramsey. Using saturated colours reminiscent of the works of Paul Gauguin and David Hockney, Ramsey infuses his characteristically flat forms with movement and sensuality.
Ramsey studied Fine Arts at Reading University and the Hammersmith School of Arts and Crafts in the UK before moving to Singapore in 1956. After becoming a Singaporean citizen, he was elected twice as Honorary President of the Modern Art Society of Singapore and became a board member of the Singapore Tyler Print Institute at its inception.
