Georgette Chen: At Home in the World

One of Singapore's most significant modern artists, Georgette Chen's love of painting was the mainstay of her eventful and peripatetic life: across the world, through two World Wars, and two Chinese Revolutions, her commitment to her practice never waned. Georgette Chen: At Home in the World accompanies Chen's survey exhibition at National Gallery Singapore, which holds the world's largest public collection of Singapore and Southeast Asian modern art.
