Living with Art gallery founder Zak Lo is on a mission to make art accessible to everyone

Creative Calling

American author Thomas Merton once famously said that “art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time”. So it was with Zak Lo, owner and principal art consultant at Living with Art when life led him on his current path after he first picked up a paintbrush 17 years ago.

The former banker was involved in painting a mural commissioned by Naval Base Primary School. “That mural had an underwater scene, and I remember climbing the three-story high scaffolding and painting a dolphin at the top of the wall—I felt so liberated and happy with the experience,” he enthused.

His love of art would only grow from that encounter. After working with local young artists on other projects, Lo took it upon himself to find other platforms to showcase their works. “I started consigning their artworks to shops in town,” he revealed. “Later on, I established Living with Art to showcase their works ourselves.” And the rest, as they say, is history. Founded in 2003, the gallery located at Tan Boon Liat Building is an extensive showcase of works by artists from around the world.
