MARVIN CHEW 周佑任

Marvin Chew is a full time watercolour artist and former Vice-President of Singapore Watercolour Society. Actively taking part in competitions around the globe and locally, he spends his time studying and illustrating different types of architecture. Marvin believes that he is able to provoke observers of his works to rediscover the charm of seemingly ordinary places.

In 2018, Marvin participated in the inaugural "International Watercolour Masters Exhibition” held in the UK and was appointed as a jury member for the same event to be held in 2022. In 2021, Marvin received the Signature Membership from the National Watercolor Society after being accepted thrice in its International Open Exhibitions in 2010, 2015 and 2021 respectively. In 2022, his paintings were exhibited at International Watercolour Masters in Lilleshall Hall, UK.
