HP TouchPad launch/ OIC Portraits After Dark @ Klapsons The Boutique Hotel

We were invited to the special event for HP’s TouchPad launch at the Klapsons The Boutique Hotel on 26th July. Due to the smaller space allocated to us – we have to be very selective and handpick 12 “spartans”/artists to show the crowd what a portrait event by OIC is all about!

We had a wonderful time pleasing the crowd! First time we had such an intense 1 to 1 kind of session and we were very pleased that even our new comers Xin Nie and Sharon took the challenge very well! There were also many queries about OIC and what we do.

We hope to do more such sessions especially with brands like HP that believes in giving local talents opprotunities to shine.

Thanks to Hsu Wei and the HP team, Pat Law and the GoodStuph crew , Edelman, PMG Asia and of course our specially handpicked team from OIC that make this event fun and memorable!

Here is the event video

Lucian Freud ‘Portraits’ documentary

Interesting documentary about the sitters and the late artist Lucian Freud. Many times we are too busy looking and drawing the sitters’ exterior we may miss out on capturing the “being”.

Summary clipped from the youtube post

“Lucian Freud ‘Portraits’ is an analysis of the artist as seen through the eyes of those who have been best placed to study him – his sitters. Over a period of two years, film-maker Jake Auerbach and Freud’s biographer William Feaver filmed many of Freud’s subjects, ranging from the late Duke of Devonshire and the now Dowager Duchess of Devonshire to fellow painters David Hockney and Celia Paul; from friends such as Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles to ex-lovers, daughters and grand-daughters.”
