Art collector Mr. Ryan Su puts together a headlining exhibition featuring works by Charlie’s Angels star Ms. Lucy Liu for the upcoming Singapore Art Week in 2019, all the while working as a shipping litigator, concurrently pursuing a PhD in Art Law.
It is no surprise why Mr. Ryan Su would take to Ms. Lucy Liu. Both are multi-hyphenate advocates, straddling dual roles. The former practices law by profession and collects-slash-exhibits art by passion; while the latter is a Hollywood A-lister and a surprisingly successful visual artist, who boldly bares her talent on screen and on canvas.
The Singaporean lawyer and Queens-born actress first met in the United States. Mr. Su recalls, “My relationship with Ms. Liu started over dinner in New York. I think she wanted to meet us as much as we wanted to meet her. We had a mutual friend who, over several years, talked about us to her and vice versa. Dinner then evolved into a studio visit, where we realized the scale of her artistic practice and her immense thought processes and dedication to her work, which was deeply personal. I felt that her work would really resonate with audiences in Singapore.”
