Notes:
“My roots are here and I find that it is important for me to stay here and perhaps show young artists that you can make use of any form and materials for art.” (1972)
A recipient of the prestigious 1990 Cultural Medallion, Anthony Poon is celebrated as one of Singapore’s leading painter-sculptors, renowned for his innovative exploration of geometry, form, and space. In this lot, his mastery of the acrylic medium is evident in the seamless gradation of aquamarine, teal, and turquoise, evoking the rhythmic ebb and flow of the seascape. When viewed in a photograph, the smooth ombré of cool tones is strikingly accentuated by the curvilinear form, drawing on the appeal of optical art. Experiencing the work in person, however, unveils an added dimension—an intricate interplay of light, shadow, and depth—highlighting how Poon invites viewers to engage with the sculptural dimensionality of his relief canvases.
Widely recognised for his relief renditions of his signature Wave Series, these works from 1992 are significant representations of the trajectory of Poon’s oeuvre. They mark a pivotal transitory phase, where he challenged the sculptural possibilities of painting and redefined spatial constructivism in abstract art. Poon’s relentless pursuit of formal abstraction led him beyond the constraints of the flat canvas, where he meticulously engineered relief canvas to mathematical precision, infusing sculptural dynamism into paintings.
Being awarded the 1983 UOB Painting of the Year was a milestone that cemented his reputation and propelled him toward major public and private commissions. Among his most iconic commissions, Poon’s monumental sculptures at St. Regis Hotel, Singapore, and the International Sculpture Park at the Beijing Olympics 2008 remain landmark spectacles, celebrated for their elegant interplay of space, structure, and colour. The span of his works, housed in esteemed private collections and national institutions, continue to attest to his enduring influence in Singapore’s art scene.
Having graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Singapore), Byam Shaw School of Arts (London), and Regional College of Art (Bradford, Yorkshire), he absorbed diverse modernist influences from various cultural contexts, setting him apart among his contemporaries when he decided to return to Singapore. These remarkable pieces in a rare triptych are a testament to Anthony Poon’s lasting impact on modern abstraction and sculptural painting.
荣获1990年享有盛誉的文化奖章（Cultural Medallion），方谨顺被誉为新加坡最杰出的画家兼雕塑家之一，以其对形式和空间的创新探索而闻名。本拍品展现了他对亞克力媒介的精湛掌控，通过无缝渐变的海蓝、青绿和碧绿色调，唤起海浪起伏的韵律感。从照片中观看时，冷色调的平滑晕染在流畅的曲线形态下尤为突出，借鉴了光学艺术的视觉魅力。然而，在实地观赏时，则揭示了作品的另一重维度——光影与深度的精妙互动，突显了方谨顺如何引导观者感受他浮雕画布的雕塑性维度。
方谨顺以其标志性的“波浪系列”浮雕绘画而广受认可，这些1992年的作品是其艺术发展轨迹的重要体现。它们标志着他艺术生涯中的关键过渡阶段，他在这时期挑战了绘画的雕塑可能性，并重新定义了抽象绘画中的空间建构主义。他对形式抽象的不懈追求使他突破了平面画布的局限，通过精密计算与严谨构造，使浮雕画布达到数学般的精准度，在绘画中注入雕塑般的动感。
1983年获得“大华银行年度绘画奖”（UOB Painting of the Year）是奠定他声誉的重要里程碑，并推动他获得众多重要的公共和私人委托项目。在其最具代表性的公共艺术创作中，位于新加坡瑞吉酒店（St. Regis Hotel）和2008年北京奥运会国际雕塑公园的宏伟雕塑仍然是标志性景观，以其优雅的空间、结构和色彩互动而备受赞誉。他的作品被收藏于享有声望的私人收藏和国家机构中，持续证明他在新加坡艺术界的深远影响。
方谨顺毕业于新加坡南洋美术学院（Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts）、伦敦Byam Shaw艺术学校（Byam Shaw School of Arts）和英国布拉德福德约克郡地区艺术学院（Regional College of Art, Bradford, Yorkshire），在不同文化背景下汲取多元现代主义影响，使他在同代艺术家中独树一帜，并最终决定回归新加坡发展。他的作品往往单件即可令人瞩目，而这一罕见的三联画更进一步彰显了他对现代抽象与雕塑绘画的持久影响。 - Condition: Some minor traces of accretion and dirt accumulation.
