In order to promote the spread and practice of the concept of ‘Harmony between Humanity and Nature’, the Asian Art Association Singapore has launched the ‘Wild City Painting Competition’. The competition aims to showcase the beauty of modern cities coexisting with nature through artworks, and invites painting enthusiasts from all over the world to pass on the concept of symbiosis between man and nature in the name of art.
The "Wild City Painting Competition" aims to raise awareness of the relationship between humans and nature through the medium of painting, exploring how we can find peace and beauty in nature amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life. As the first tropical botanical garden to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Singapore Botanic Gardens have borne witness to this evolution, representing the perfect harmony between humans and nature. One of the honors for winning participants is having their outstanding works exhibited at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This garden is not only a significant cultural landmark of Singapore but also a popular tourist destination for visitors from around the world. Through this exhibition, the artworks of the participants will be viewed by a global audience, conveying the message of coexistence between humans and nature and showcasing the integration of art and nature to visitors from all over the world.
In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, maintaining a harmonious relationship with nature within urban spaces is a challenge faced by cities globally. The "Wild City Painting Competition" offers a unique platform for artists worldwide, allowing each participant to express their love for nature and their vision of green cities through their art. Art is not only a representation of beauty but also a call for harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
We sincerely invite artists from around the world to join this competition and use their brushes to depict a beautiful vision of future cities where nature and urban life coexist. Let us together explore the perfect balance between the wild and the urban, adding more green and vitality to the world through art.
