Lost and Found? It is not always loss in translation, especially after we found the gems in Singaporean poetry in various languages, and translate them into Chinese, calligraphy and art. In this literati calligraphy and painting exhibition, you will be inspired by the poetry works from Singapore's Chinese, English, Malay, and Tamil languages. Almost like a poetic metamorphosis, you will be amazed by poetry manifested in various forms, including traditional/creative calligraphy and ink, presented in frames, scrolls, albums and even folding fans!

诗的变形记：陈志锐•周德成的文人诗书画联展

作为新诗/思路，本书画展展品灵感都源自新加坡华英巫印四语诗歌作品。诗也在海丝之路中转站的新加坡，见证了新加坡各语诗歌交汇、变形和翻译成中文、书法和绘画。文人书画作品形式多样，包括传统书画卷轴，现代创意书法与新水墨，信笺折扇册页，目的就是以传统／创新的文人书画形式和汉字来表现新加坡四大种族诗人的作品。展品除了会提供原文，也会有英文翻译。这是四诗充美，也是四时充美，更是四方诗志。
