An annual exhibition of watercolours by the members of the Malaysian Watercolour Society.
NN Gallery is proud to present the Malaysian Watercolour Society’s Annual 2010 Group Exhibition from 7th till 31st March 2010.
Malaysian Watercolour Society is one of the most active art groups in Malaysia. The inclusion of many new members since its inception has guaranteed a growing number of participating MWS members.For this year's exhibition, sixty three works by thirty three participating MWS artists will be featured, with subject matter ranging from portraiture, scenic landscapes and images depicting everyday life, market scenes and fishing villages, flora and fauna as well as some stylized abstract works.
Watercolours as a medium are reminiscent of a bygone era, they express a romantic and nostalgic imagery of people and places. Its tradition in Malaysia dates back pre-independence and even goes back as early as the nineteenth century. The art of watercolour bears a significant history in Malaysian artistic practices.
In creating greater awareness and a love for the medium, the Malaysian Watercolour Society has actively and passionately been promoting an appreciation of this medium through means of publications, field trips, painting excursions and exhibitions. This has rekindled interest in the public, with younger members joining in the MWS giving new idioms and expression to traditions of watercolours.
We invite you to view and explore the beauty of this medium and the richness in style of this group of talented watercolourists.
