Regional renowned urban landscape painter, Chankerk’s work employs energetic, impulsive, bold brushstrokes to communicate a sense of dynamism and fluxus within the context of urbanisation. His paintings are marked by spontaneity and immediacy, informed by first-hand observations. Diffused, abstract depictions of local shop houses, streets and skyscrapers reflect the rapid changes across the Singaporean landscape, rendering familiar scenes as homogenous urban territories.
Chankerk is the founder of My Art Space, conducted various art workshops for all walks of life and has leaded art adventure trips from Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Taiwan, Australia, Sri Lanka to Bhutan. He is the mentor of many emerging artists in Singapore.
Testimonials from Happy Customers
“I did a travel sketching workshop with Chankerk. He’s a great teacher. The workshop was enjoyable and taught me a lot about spontaneous art as against formal drawing and colouring. Something I am not normally good at! I definitely would want to do the real travel and sketch session with him sometime soon.”
“My art space is truly a great place to learn art making. My teacher Chankerk does not just impart knowledge about painting techniques, he encourages his students to think creatively. I am very thankful to be on an art journey at my Art Space.”
“Recently, I went in an art sketching trip with Chankerk from My Art Space – it was fantastic! A good balance between sketching and eating at local places that only locals go to in Kluang, Batu Pahat and Malacca because Chankerk was such a good guide! It was so useful to learn the basics of how to sketch outdoors with the scene in front of you, seeing the big pattern, capturing light and shadow, shading and doing it fairly fast or within a limited time. Overall, a totally enjoyable and memorable trip with great lessons and sketches, good company, yummy food, and looking forward to the next trip!”
“Went on an art excursion trip to Kluang with Chankerk and not only did I gain a lot of tips and instructions on how improve on my sketching, I had a mini kluang history lesson and also a first hand experience of all the good food in the nearby charming villages. I definitely recommend going an art trip with Chankerk”
“I have a wonderful week-long art trip to Valle d’Aosta, a mountainous region of northwest Italy, in early October this year. The trip was led by accomplished Italian artist Giorgia Madonno and a well-known artist from Singapore, Chankerk Teh. Both artists are dedicated instructors and are always keen to demonstrate and give useful pointers on sketching techniques.
The experience of the art trip, in terms of artistic experience, is enlightening, inspiring, and fruitful. It was also a delightful trip particularly in the company of a group of wonderful new friends who share the same interests in travel and outdoor sketching.”
＊超级专业的指导与丰富的写生旅程＊
“感恩有机会能參与由经验丰富画家常格帶领，三天兩夜马来西亚柔佛州的写生旅程，所到的每一站都有着当地美丽的风土人情与色彩,历史与建筑风格背后津津乐道的故事,还有美味的道地美食,谢谢常格導师画家很用心指導我们如何把当地怡人的风景，丰富历史性的建筑物，並当时的天气与光线如何跟着步骤，一步步勾画成美丽的線条再加上水彩呈现在我们写生的画册里，这是我人生中走过並写下最丰富美丽写生日记！
谢谢你常格老师 💯”
“Hi everyone, I would like to tell you that I just came back from a plein-air in Malaysia where I had the opportunity to sketch and paint from nature with other colleagues from My Art Space. It is a completely new experience that teaches observation, fast work and a different approach than, for example, painting in the studio. It was really great, surprising, I don’t want to tell you the details. In addition to sketching, I got to know completely new, unknown places that you will not find in Singapore. A very valuable stay, especially for those who want to develop artistically and expand their artistic sensitivity, I heartily recommend”
“Great experience with Chankerk on the Art Excursion Trip! Appreciate that he shares his knowledge & perspectives about Arts & Culture unconditionally. He’s a great mentor, ever so patient with me & my mom even though she has no prior art background. Always learning so much from him in my painting journey. Had so much fun & enjoyed all the unique food places that he brought us to! Will definitely share my experiences with friends & family!”
