FOR MORE THAN half a century, pioneering Singaporean artist and Cultural Medallion recipient Goh Beng Kwan has played a pivotal role in shaping the country's contemporary art scene. Amid his numerous achievements, Goh has consistently honoured his heritage; since the 1990s, he has upheld an annual tradition of creating a special Lunar New Year artwork.
