SELECTED WORKS
133 WORKS FROM 81 SELECTED PARTICIPANTS
"I love art since school days. It makes me happy. After stopping for a while, the opportunity for me to
continue to pursue my interest in art happened on Aug 2012, when a friend introduced me to Mr Jimmy
Quek. At first, I thought I would only take up a few lessons, but now in 2019, I am already in my 7th year of
painting with Jimmy. Initially, my image of an artist is one who will only teach the basics and keep the
'secret recipe' to himself, but Jimmy is certainly not such instructor. His teaching is profound and
demonstrates in-depth insights into art. He is a sincere artist, earnest in imparting his experiences and
knowledge to his students. He has no reservation nor intends to keep his 'secret recipe' when comes to
teaching. He is there to inspire the next generation of painters, and one can certainly feel his passion for
art.
'Art is never-ending. Colour unifies and signifies one's inner world.'
I am proud and privileged to learn under Jimmy's guidance. I humbly share my 5 paintings, to be part of
'Ongoing Art Sessions 10th Anniversary'. Congratulation Jimmy!" - Janivfer Lim.

"The
reason
why
I
wanted
to
be
taught
by
Jimmy
Quek
was
his
open-mindedness
towards
art
and
his
wonderful
use
of
colours.
His
use
of
colour
is
so
extremely
beautiful.
The
combination
of
his
colours
and
the
vibrancy
of
them.
It
results
in
dreamy paintings representing an ideal world." - Bianca Kremer.
"As
a
graphic
designer,
I
have
to
often
adhere
to
the
clients'
design
briefs
and
the
design
works
that
I
produce
do
not
reflect
my
true
self.
I
am
merely
a
shadow
of
my
clients.
However,
through
art,
I
can
express
myself
freely
as
I
come
up
with
creations
that
portray
my
life's
stories.
Every
story
depicts
different
emotions
and
states
of
mind.
The
process
of
creating
every
artwork
helps
me
to
discover
more
about
myself
by
having
me
to
be
true
to
myself.
Thus,
my
journey
of
being
an
artist
has
been
transformational
as
my
life's
changes
are
reflected
through
each
artwork."

"Jimmy is a true artist. More than a skilled technician, his dedication to the craft has made
him the free and authentic person that he is who is open to different notions of beauty.
This translates into the peaceful environment that he provides for practice and is felt
through his calm, patient and understanding demeanour when teaching.
From him, I have learnt that I have a voice. For even when I run out of words, I now know
to use colour, lines and shapes to communicate. He listens to my ideas and challenges
me to consider the alternatives. His belief in me gives me the confidence to share my
work and to explore different art forms.
It is indeed one of life's blessings that our paths crossed 10 years ago. Today, I continue to
enjoy the friendship and banter with a mentor in Jimmy and Siew Hooi, a true artist in her
own right, who makes the community complete. Thank you for being advocates of honest
expression and creativity." - Vivien Lee. ( http://www.vivienleeart.com/ )
