About Us
Set
up in 2003, LivingwithArt Singapore’s owner Zak Lo’s career path may have seen
him head into the financial world, but he’s also a passionate and practicing
artist himself, with a belief that affordable art could and should be brought
into all living spaces.
The
flagship gallery in the Tan Boon Liat Building comprises of more than 3000
works of art, vases and sculptures. LivingwithArt’s current portfolio houses local
artists in Singapore’s art and photography scene such as Tan Tui Gee, Jaime
Teo, Samantha Redfern, and Linda Preece. The sheer volume and variety on offer
make for a fantastic choice for homeowners, with no limitations in terms of
style, design, or size. So how does LivingwithArt supply such a variety? “I
work alongside 15 talented full-time consultants, designers and artists to
create unique pieces to suit different spaces. We incorporate Feng shui
elements, frame customers’ art and do not inflate prices to boost the artist’s
ego.”
Besides
that, a new fine art wing, Gallery 1819 Singapore, was added to offer
investment into emerging Asian artworks, featuring Senior Artist Thomas Yeo,
Niu Zhi Ye, Nancy Lang and Aaron Gan.
Artists
are selected from around the world, with a particular emphasis on supporting
local artists. Walk around the Tan Boon Liat space, and you will see colorful
Murano glasswork alongside local artist’s textural pieces, large traditional
canvases, triptychs, bronze sculptures and much more. Pieces can be customized
in terms of colour, theme, size, style and medium, giving the customer greater
flexibility. “We particularly love bright and cheery colours and interesting
sculptures, which make great conversational pieces.”
