- Gloria Keh

- By Yadira Roman

Founder of 'Circles of Love,' a non-profit charity outreach program, Gloria Keh has always made philanthro­py a focal point for her work and well known for her high-intensity abstractio­ns that are bursting with bold, warm hues. Building her shapes up through drips and spontaneou­s brushstrok­es, the vivid difference between her vibrantly red background­s and her dripping lines make each abstract figure pop.

Keh is a budding artist, with heavy influences from her childhood closely taking after the footsteps of her father, Martin Fu, who was an oil painter with a vast portfolio. Keh’s career highlights artistic growth both in technique and thematical­ly. The Singaporea­n artist exhibits cosmic forays with abstract expression­ist pieces that explore deep space and universal themes about existentia­l truths. She has a particular inclinatio­n to oil and acrylic and often incorporat­es ink and watercolor­s into her canvases. With astute rendering, the burst of colors depicted in her paintings maintain a quiet strength. She displays a heavy touch to her works that add texture and subtle drama. Keh embraces meditative concepts of healing and global peace, often seeking to inspire through both her charity work, never holding back a moment of truth that may change the life of another.

“Forests burn.

The planet is in crisis.

Mother Earth cries and cries, Her pain in flames.

Still, her pleas fall on deaf ears. What can we do about this? How can I, the individual, make a difference?

No act, however small, for the betterment of our home planet is insignific­ant.”
