新加坡书友指南：曾广纬

曾广纬1936年出生于中国广东潮安，早年移居新加坡，1957年在新加坡师资训练学院毕业 后即执教鞭，直到1996年退休；其除担任教职外，也一直负责在职学校之书法活动，及在课余先后于新加坡国立大学校外进修系、书法团体、学校及诸会馆书法 班级等指导书法历卅年之久，为新加坡书法界造就不少人才；同时书法家除经常受邀参加国内外重大书法展外，也经常参与国际书法展之策划及组织工作。

他也曾经受邀代表新加坡到世界各地主持书法挥毫示范及书法讲座等活动，为新加坡书法艺术作出累累的奉献。

曾先生目前为狮城书法篆刻会会长。他也同时担任新加坡墨谰社顾问、布莱德岭话华族传统艺术中心顾问、国际书法家协会副秘书长；新加坡潮州八邑会馆文教委书画组主任、潮安会馆董事、潮州曾氏公会名誉会长、曾丘公会名誉理事。

曾广纬最擅行书，尤精于行楷。他在中学时期回归了颜柳唐楷之后，首先打下的是楷书的坚实基础。从这一基本功出发，他开始学行书。从入门的《行书备要》，继而到文征明、祝枝山和鲜于枢，还有更后来的赵孟頫。

由于教学上的需要，广纬从1980年起也开始临摹魏碑，以《张猛龙碑》和《张黑女碑》为主。唐楷辅以魏碑，书体益见厚重，也超脱了一味圆浑的中锋，兼具中锋与侧锋之美。

新加坡书友指南：洪云生

洪云生 Ang Hoon Seng 去年被义安文化中心选为2013年度特选卓越艺术家。以下是推荐文：

1933年6月出生于新加坡，原籍广东潮州。从事公共服务和银行业逾四十年，曾任新加坡华联银行副总裁及北京、深圳和成都首席代表。自1981年起担任義安公司董事，以及潮州总会，新加坡潮州基金董事，義安文化中心及多家本地和海外艺术机构顾问，致力宏扬中华文化数十年如一日。历任新加坡中国学会副会长、潮剧联谊社名誉社长、潮州八邑会馆董事、原文教委员会主席等职。

虽在英国殖民地时期受西方教育，洪先生却对中国传统优良文化情有独钟，尤对高超的书画艺术酷爱有加。几十年来博临历代名家碑帖，初法欧阳询、颜真卿、柳公权，后研习赵孟頫、董其昌、智永、米芾、褚遂良、钟繇、王羲之和龙门廿品，碑帖兼修并蓄。近又专心研究张旭和怀素狂草及张芝的一笔书，颇有悟觉，独辟蹊径。工真、行、草书，他的楷书典雅流畅，且尤擅长草书，字体醇厚飘逸、奔放雄健，富有魏碑笔意，奇宕潇散，浑然天成，有韵绝俗。晚年更醉心于中国画，寄情于木刻艺术，劳逸结合，生活有序，日无虚度。

洪先生酷爱书画艺术非为稻谋。他认为习书法，主要在于修身养性。不受功利所诱惑，淡泊于物，不缨于心，探求心灵之内涵。学书法，应先修身治学而后书。在治学上，他虚怀若谷，好学不倦，在技艺上，他继承而不拘泥，创新而不离源，自成风格。

洪先生之书室，有一对联云：不因果报方修德，岂为功名好读书。他视之为座右铭，正与其所爱书法之陶冶情操、净化心灵之情趣有相辅相成之致。故晚年取号停云隐士，希能摒除俗事，专心学道修真。

ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2013 – Mr Ang Hoon Seng

Mr Ang Hoon Seng, descended from Chaozhou in Guangdong Province was born in Singapore in June 1933. He was in the public and banking services for more than four decades holding the position as vice-president of Overseas Union Bank Ltd, Singapore and its chief representative in Beijing, Shenzhen and Chengdu. He has served as a member of the Committee of Management of The Ngee Ann Kongsi since 1981, council member of the Teochew Federation (Singapore) and governor of the Teochew Foundation as well as advisor to Ngee Ann Cultural Centre and a number of local and overseas arts bodies.

Actively involved in the promotion of Chinese culture for decades, Mr Ang was the vice president of the Singapore China Society, honorary president of Teochew Drama Association, a director of the Singapore Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan and chairman of the Huay Kuan’s cultural & educational committee.

Notwithstanding his English education background, Mr Ang has been an enthusiast of all things related to Chinese culture, especially the highly sophisticated and refined art of Chinese calligraphy and painting. He started practising calligraphy by learning from a wide range of most famous works from the great ancient masters. They include kǎi shū (楷书) or regular script from Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhen Qing, Liu Gong Quan and Zhong Yao; xíng shū (行书) or running script from Wang Xi Zhi, Zhao Meng Fu, Chu Sui Liang; cǎo-shū (草书) or cursive script from Dong Qi Chang, Zhi Yong and Mi Fu; and kuáng-cǎo (狂草) or wild-cursive script from Huai Su, Zhang Xu and Zhang Zhi as well as the twenty famous inscriptions from Longmen Grottoes.

In recent years, he has devoted much time in studying the one-stroke writing, (一笔书yì bǐ shū) innovated by Zhang Zhi. While emulating the great masters, Mr Ang has developed his own styles of writing. His kǎi shū (楷书) or regular script, in mini or medium size scripts, is elegant and well composed without any touch-up whatsoever. However, he is better known for his accomplishment in cǎo-shū (草书), in terms of the density, layout and flow of the characters. His style is vigor, fast, graceful and natural. He has devoted much time recently in improving his skills in Chinese brush painting and wood carving, thus keeping himself meaningfully occupied every day.

Prof Tan Siah Kwee: Perfecting the art of beauty in words

A graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Nanyang University, 1972, the quiet and determined Prof Tan is ceaseless in his search for perfecting an art and his Chinese calligraphic skills. To him, gaining mastery of the art of Chinese calligraphy is a lifelong pursuit that requires endless patience and a stillness of heart.

He shares how the art form has benefited him. "After all my years of practising calligraphy, I have been instilled with a great sense of patience. This has helped me maintain my centre of balance no matter what life brings," he enthused.

Currently, the President of the Chinese Calligraphy Society of Singapore (CCSS), Prof Tan not only founded CCSS, but also served for 37 years as its President. He has continued in his capacity so as to promote his love for calligraphy, which eventually led to Prof Tan embarking on a career of lecturing calligraphy, a mere two years after he graduated. In 1974, he became a Lecturer at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, where he spent 12 years. Prof Tan was subsequently appointed a Lecturer of Chinese Calligraphy at the Centre for Chinese Language and Culture, NTU, and at the Department of Chinese Studies, NIE.

Prof Tan has also published over 200 essays on the topic of calligraphy and art, in books, magazines and newspapers. He has won countless awards and honours for his work and gained local and international recognition for his extraordinary calligraphic skills.

He was the first Calligrapher to be nominated by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board (now Singapore Tourism Board) to serve as its cultural ambassador in 1978. Prof Tan has been a judge at numerous art and calligraphic competitions and exhibitions here and overseas since 1975. These include the National Day Art Exhibition and the 3rd China Calligraphy and Seal Carving Television Competition. The latter was organised by the Central China Television (CCTV).

A man of mission, Prof Tan is keen to introduce calligraphy to people of all ages. He established the Singapore Senior Citizen Calligraphy University, as well as introduced children calligraphy classes. It is a dream of his to spread the appreciation of Chinese calligraphy to as many people as he could.

Prof Tan has surely made his mark. He was able to raise a large sum of money to erect the Singapore Calligraphy Centre at Waterloo Street, with the aid of government funding. Today, many local and overseas calligraphers call the centre home. He also collaborated with famous sculptor, Mr Chern Lian Shan, to produce a bronze bust of the late Mr Lee Wee Nam. The masterpiece, emblazoned with Prof Tan's signature calligraphic strokes, is now a prominent centrepiece, at the entrance of the Lee Wee Nam library at NTU. The strokes behold an elegant inscription of the library's new name.

In more ways than one, Prof Tan has contributed to his alma mater. Till this day, Prof Tan remains keenly involved in NTU alumni activities. Just last year, he sat on the Organising Committee as Chairman for the 35th Anniversary Reunion for the Class of 1972 and 30th Anniversary Reunion for the Class of 1977.

新加坡书友指南：黄再进

1924年出生的黄再进，今年已经90岁了，可是身体仍然硬朗，健步如飞，自言拜“书艺延年”所赐。

原籍福建晋江，1936年来马来西亚，日军入侵时期务农为生。1948年来新加坡，在牛车水一带街边当小贩，1958年后投身食品工业与经营砖业。

由于业务繁忙，一直没有时间学习书法。可是在马来西亚期间，看到书法家杨草仙挥毫榜书，当时才十几岁，就希望有一天自己也能写一手好榜书。

他的这个愿望终于在他退休后得以实现。1999年认识书法家何业波时完成了。在何老师的指导下，75岁的他日习榜书百字，领悟到写榜书的道理，除了要心手双畅，四两拨千斤之善用巧力之外，还要快马如阵。

学习书法后，还积极参加了国内外书法大展，更于2009年9月在中华总商会举行《黄再进85榜书展》。

黄再进目前以90岁高龄，还十分活跃于新加坡书坛，每年参加由长青书艺会在陈笃生医院主办的“书艺延年书画展”。

泼墨挥毫间，让深厚文化底蕴世代挥洒

这位63岁的南大理学院毕业生，堪称书法界广受尊崇的大师级人物。在泼墨挥毫间，邱博士体会到书法艺术不仅只是一笔一划而已，而是透过纸面上飞舞的笔墨，牵引出历史、哲学、价值观、艺术审美等中华文化浩瀚深远的多重价值。

过去二十年里，邱博士的足迹遍及世界各地。除了应邀到海内外各地就中华艺术发表专题演讲，他更是第一位在美国华盛顿主办个人书法展的新加坡人，并配合作品展举行了系列专题讲座。美国之外，他的书法作品也在加拿大、中国、香港特区、日本、韩国、台湾和邻国马来西亚等地巡回展出，并自1992年以来，定期到中国各大城市举办个人书法展。因其艺术造诣广受认可，邱博士在书法界受誉为书法家、书法教育家、书法理论家，集"三家之誉"于一身。

邱博士也积极著书立说，20年来写了28部书，涉及内容广泛，涵盖中国文学、文化、哲学以及书法理论。其中，"Behind the Brushstrokes" 一书，尤其是邱博士对书法界的一大指标性贡献。全书以英文撰写，用说故事的方式诉说书法艺术的历史与发展。这部英文著作是书法界前所未有的突破，出版后受欧美好几所大学采纳为指定参考书。

艺术不忘慈善，邱博士曾多次捐赠作品供慈善拍卖，也通过个人作品展筹款，迄今协助筹集的善款近800万新元。他也以各种不同形式支持全国肾脏基金会、新加坡回教社群发展理事基金、以及其他慈善机构的筹款活动。
