We will be the school of choice for art enthusiasts who want to learn more about art. Founder
Artist Ho Sou Ping, an aerospace engineer-turned-artist started painting when he was just 13. But in those days, art was not a common profession and no one propagated the idea of pursuing one's interest," he said. Convincing himself that art should be "done on the sidelines", he focused on his academics and even went on to do a master's degree in Business. But he never gave up on his art. He always found time to paint "Sometimes I get so engrossed in painting, I forget to eat," he said. Despite doing well in his corporate life, he set himself a deadline to retire at 50 to paint full-time. After making a conscious decision to go full-time, things fell into place. He found two sponsors who were willing to invest in his venture as silent partners. He finally opened artcommune gallery in October 2009. artcommune gallery was born.

🪞 Mirror Straits | Installation View

Two tropical islands, Taiwan and Singapore, each shaped by many cultures but split by different colonial and postwar paths, and so by different memories. The gallery read like a conversation between two sides.

Bringing four Singaporean artists, Cheong Soo Pieng, Chen Wen Hsi, Tan Choh Tee and Wong Keen, into dialogue with Taiwan's postwar art scene, the Taipei presentation features works by Yuyu Yang and Chu Wei-Bor, alongside Chin Jun-Tso and Chen Ching-Jung.

"Two months ago, I went to Pulau Ubin to sketch. The island still preserves the kampong atmosphere and sense of place that I remember from childhood. Old attap and zinc houses, the salty sea breeze, and traces of people and places touched by time bring back memories and a deep sense of belonging.

On a summer afternoon, an old wooden house reveals its weathered textures in the shifting light. A large umbrella, a glimpse of a red dress, and a few quiet tables and chairs capture a small fragment of everyday life.

Through awareness and contemplation, I look at the scene through a kind of “memory viewing.” What I see is both Pulau Ubin as it is now and the Nanyang that still lingers in my memory. For a moment, the present and the past overlap, leaving a quiet, unspoken aftertaste."

- Artist, Tung Yue Nang 邓汝能

“I’ve been to Chinatown many times, but never noticed some of these details before.”

A reflection from one of our participants at ‘Walking into Chinatown: Art in Situ’ and a fitting reminder of how a familiar place can feel different when we take the time to look more closely.

As ‘Textures of Longing and Belonging’ comes to a close today, we’d like to thank everyone who joined us on the walks and visited the exhibition✨

If you haven’t had the chance to stop by, today is the final day to experience the exhibition at artcommune gallery!

18 September 2026 — 映照臺灣與新加坡擦身而行的藝術軌跡,「鏡之海峽」續寫兩座島嶼的未竟對話

「風景畫家陳楚智經歷的時代正是新加坡高速發展的階段,他描繪了當時很多陸續被拆除改建的老屋風貌與傳統市集所散發的蓬勃生命氣息,都成為珍貴的城市變遷史與公眾記憶。 — 集菁藝社創辦人何劭斌」

🪞 Mirror Straits 镜之海峡 has been featured in 典藏 ARTouch, one of Taiwan’s established art publications, in an article exploring the interconnected artistic histories of Taiwan and Singapore.

In the feature, Mr. Ho Sou Ping, Founder of artcommune gallery, reflects on how Tan Choh Tee’s paintings of Singapore’s disappearing streets and traditional markets preserve memories of the city’s transformation. His Dihua Street (Taiwan) (1992) offers another perspective on the artist’s practice, capturing the everyday streetscape of Taiwan through the eyes of a Singaporean artist.

Beyond bringing together works by Taiwanese and Singaporean artists, the exhibition invites audiences to revisit their shared histories and consider how artistic encounters across geographical boundaries continue to shape our understanding of both regions.

Our sincere thanks to 典藏ARTouch.com for featuring Mirror Straits and sharing the stories and artistic connections behind the exhibition.
