About the Artist:

Tan Haur
 
Born in 1963, Tan Haur is a Singaporean who has been a moving force in digital photography, digital art and underwater art making. Graduating from Australian National University (Master of Visual Arts) with a major in photography, before committed himself as a fulltime artist, he worked as a chief curator cum manager for epSITE Digital Imaging Gallery (2000 -2005). This was a career that allowed Tan Haur to pursue his interest as well as create digital art awareness in the regional context. In year 2006, Tan Haur spearheaded a pioneer digi-art program supported by the Singapore Ministry of Arts - CCS in organizing workshops and seminars for the public on digital painting, photograph editing, restoring and archiving techniques. He has traveled to many countries to create art high up at the summit as well as deep down in the ocean environment, and received numerous distinctive arts awards and art contribution medals from USA, Australia and Singapore. 

 
Work in progress:

Theme: In Beijing
 
This project reflects Tan Haur's passion in black & white fine art photography, focusing into straight street photography and mirroring fractions of strong visual statement of the local subject matters by placing two photos into one frame. Avoiding complicated postproduction in stitching and blending photos, majority of the photos in pairs are simply place side by side to shed light on his ideas and artistic statement.
 
This new series of artwork should not be simply view as an artist's photo dialogue experienced through in December 2007, Beijing, but very much an in depth expression of "Zen" in its daily life context.
