Lai Kui Fang

Dr. Lai Kui Fang (1936 – 2022), a Singaporean professional and versatile portrait artist-cum restorer, is best known for his oil paintings drawing from the European classical, Romantic and realistic tradition, often of historical figures or scenes. One of his best-known works is his re-creation of the landmark 1959 moment when the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew was sworn in as Singapore’s first Prime Minister.
Though his father, who was from mainland China, wanted him to pursue medicine, Mr Lai moved to Singapore as a youth and enrolled in the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. On top of his art trainings in Singapore, distinguished himself by winning several overseas scholarships while studying on a French government- sponsored scholarship at the world-renowned Ecole Nationale Superieure Des Beaus-Arts in the 1960s. Having obtained the prestigious Diploma Superieure D’Art-Plastique in 1969, he went on to master bronze casting, stone sculpture, fresco painting, mosaic and stained glass for the next three years.

He earned a high reputation as an internationally acclaimed artist, skilled in the disciplines of painting, portraiture, and sculpture.
