Vincent Leow (1961)has carved out an important role in Singapore's contemporary art development. He works in a wide range of genres,� from performances, installations and sculptures, to digital and mixed-media works. One of the early members of The Artists Village, founded in 1988, Leow's art has been about emphasizing the �process� in art where he constantly challenges how people consume and understand art; either through playful or antagonistic means. Leow's role as an educator has also inspired today's generation of young contemporary artists who are interested in works of a similar vein. Leow's 'Lover�s Plight' continues his interest in conceptual and symbolic properties through multi-layered and dense pictorial surface structures. 'Love's Plight' makes poignant insights into the plight of the homosexual community in Singapore, who are unable to express their sexuality and homosexuality freely. It is also one of the series of paintings representative of Leow's uncompromising struggle to localise influences� translating deluge of multi-cultural signs into compelling visages.
