For his latest solo exhibition at Chan Hampe Galleries, Vincent has presented a series of new paintings that were executed during his teaching residency in Sarjah, UAE. They feature various forms of otherworldly animals, creatures and humans, which are used to explore the notion of the familiar and foreign.

ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu 2012
The annual photography award that recognises Singapore’s most outstanding photographer, ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu, returns for its third year. This year’s ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu is also held in celebration of Martell Cordon Bleu’s centenary. As part of the celebrations, a specially constructed gallery called The Timeless Capsule will be hosting the photographs of this year’s nominees, along with an exhibition that explores the heritage of Martell Cordon Bleu.
To commemorate this special occasion and to pay homage to the legendary cognac that has given its name to the award, ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu is organised around the centenary theme of Eternal Discovery and will be presented in a multimedia format, steering away from the traditional photographic print.
