Hor Kwok Kin
(b. 1939, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia) is a self-taught Singaporean photographer celebrated for his modernist compositions that embody a pictorialist philosophy. A professional chef by trade, he has surmounted numerous challenges through perseverance, notably transforming a restaurant restroom into a makeshift darkroom and inventing his own chemical developers. This inventive approach. alongside his working-class roots, has granted him a uniquely empathetic lens through which he captures the diurnal rhythms and quotidian scenes of Southeast Asia with candid intimacy. Hor's dedication and contributions have earned him Associate Membership of the Photographic Society of Singapore (1986) and the prestigious Fellowship of The Royal Photographic Society (1992), cementing his legacy as both a resilient artist and a vital chronicler of Singapore's social history. His work is held in National Gallery Singapore and National Museum of Singapore, as well as numerous private collections.
Delia Prvački
(b. 1950, Baia Mare, Romania) is a Singaporean artist, naturalised in 2002, who works primarily with clay as a bearer of memory and witness. With a practice spanning more than five decades, she is best known for her sculptures, site-specific installations, and public art, which bridge histories, geographies, and lived experience, while remaining grounded in material knowledge and intellectual integrity.
Delia graduated from the Bucharest Institute of Fine Arts with a Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics in 1975 and relocated to Singapore with fellow artist and partner Milenko Prvački in 1992. Her work has been exhibited extensively across Europe, Asia, and the United States and is held in significant collections. Her 2024/25 retrospective at NUS Museum, ‘Continuity, Persistence, Line’ Thinking Through Clay – A Selection of Works by Delia Prvački, recognises her enduring contribution to contemporary art and affirms her institutional standing in Singapore.
Professor Milenko Prvački
(b. 1951, Yugoslavia) is a pivotal figure in shaping Singapore’s visual arts scene through his practice and work in arts education. Naturalised as a Singaporean citizen in 2002, he graduated with a Master of Fine Arts (Painting) from Bucharest’s Institutul de Arte Plastice 'Nicolae Grigorescu' in 1975 before relocating to Singapore in 1992. Milenko’s practice — exemplified by his ongoing autobiographical series, Abstraction for Beginners — enquires into abstraction in painting as a formal visual lexicon of geometric elements, brushstrokes, and colours.
Milenko’s work has been exhibited extensively, including at the 2006 Biennale of Sydney, and is held in major public collections, such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia; Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, Serbia; Singapore Art Museum; and National Gallery Singapore. A key driver at LASALLE College of the Arts since 1994, he served as Dean of Fine Arts for a decade, founded the international graduate platform Tropical Lab, and currently serves as Senior Fellow. In recognition of his institutional contributions and artistic achievements, he was awarded Singapore’s Cultural Medallion (2012), France’s Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (2011), and Serbia’s Sava Šumanović Fine Art Award (2020).
Jeanette Adrienne Wee
(b. 1990, Singapore) is an artist who primarily works with clay as her medium. Her practice also weaves in materials like textiles and wood, exploring the space between tradition and experimentation. Known for her rich textures, layered clay bodies, and custom glazes, her work is anchored in quiet, sometimes cheeky, reflection.
Fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean, Jean trained under Dr Iskandar Jalil and has undertaken residencies in Japan and Korea. Her practice continues to evolve as she works to expand the visual and cultural language of her work.
She has collaborated with brands such as Tiffany and Co, Aesop, Glenfiddich, Shiseido, Vogue Singapore, and Massimo Dutti. Across each project, Jean offers moments of stillness, presence, and an abstract approach to storytelling.
