Singapore City features the picturesque skyline of Singapore, in vibrant and joyous colours. These iconic sights (Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands, Boat Quay & Supreme Court) are celebrated by Singaporean artist Raymond Lau, in a series of acrylic and oil paintings.
Raymond belongs to a new emerging generation of Singaporean artists at the forefront of Singapore’s evolution into a renaissance city. A vocal and colourful individual, Raymond excels in both realist and abstract renditions in oil and acrylic.
Raymond was honoured with the UOB painting of the Year award in 1993 and the National Arts Council Young Artist Awards in 2001. His works can be found in the collections of President S.R. Nathan, Ambassador-at-Large Professor Tommy Koh, Professor Arthur Lim, Mr Tan Swie Hian, Ms Chng Seok Tin, Singapore Management University, United Overseas Bank and the National Arts Council.
Socially Responsible Gifts
At Qua, we are deeply committed to supporting meaningful causes in Singapore and the non-profit organisations that work tirelessly to make a difference.
We extend our CSR efforts by showcasing the artistry of talented individuals with special needs, while fostering greater awareness and appreciation for their creativity within the wider community.
QUA x ART:DIS
We have been working with special needs, differently-abled artists since 2011, creating a revenue stream for the artists. In doing so, we immortalise their creations, allowing them to sell more than just one painting at a time.
We were the first in Singapore to work with the Pathlight School, and are now, we collaborate extensively with ART:DIS (Arts & Disability Singapore) to introduce a collection of gift premiums featuring the artwork from ART:DIS’ Arts for Livelihood and Employment (ALIVE) Programme. All artists earn royalties from the sale of their merchandise and artwork commissions.
