30 Dec 2004 - 20 Feb 2005

Russel Wong, one of Singapore’s leading professional photographers with an international portfolio, presents a broad selection of his works in the solo exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum.
From the celebrity portraits he is well-known for, to behind the scenes or on set photography for movies such as Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Autumn in New York, to visual narratives, the exhibition reveals the photographer: his person and practice; an insight into his creative vision and art practice.
This visual biography includes photo-text montage, photo-sequences, including photographer's notations which outlines his process & methodologies in his art-making.
Curated by Lindy Poh, this retrospective exhibition, which is also the first solo exhibition of its kind for a Singapore-international photographer, will feature works from Wong's portraits of famous faces, productions and narratives.
Through his photographic style and expression, Russel Wong, details his development and his unique perspective of capturing the moment.
Given Russel Wong's international recognition as a photographer, and his collaborations and close working relations with high profile international celebrities including Joan Chen, Michelle Yeoh, Jackie Chan, Zhang Ziyi, Richard Gere, Oliver Stone, a launch party is planned for early January 2005, which is expected to draw some of the famous faces captured in his portraits.
There are plans to travel the exhibition to Hong Kong/China and New York following its launch in Singapore.
Exhibition Dates: 30 Dec 2004 - 20 Feb 2005
