‘The Wilderness City Painting Competition aims to draw more attention to the relationship between humans and nature through painting, and to explore how to find the peace and beauty of nature in the midst of busy city life. As the world's first tropical botanical garden to be listed as a World Heritage Site, the Singapore Botanic Gardens has witnessed this evolution and is a perfect representation of modern-day harmony between people and nature. As a great honour for the winners, the outstanding entries will be displayed at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a World Heritage Site. This garden is not only an important cultural icon of Singapore, but also a tourist attraction for visitors from all over the world. Through the exhibition here, the participants' artworks will have the opportunity to be appreciated by audiences from all over the world, conveying the concept of the symbiosis between human beings and nature, and demonstrating to global tourists the interplay between art and nature.
In today's fast-growing urbanisation process, how to maintain a harmonious relationship with nature in urban space is a common issue facing the world. The ‘Wild City Painting Competition’ provides a unique platform for art lovers around the world, allowing each participant to express his or her love of nature and vision for the future of green cities through art. Art is not only a manifestation of beauty, but also a call for the symbiosis of man and nature.
