Carolyn Law

Carolyn Law graduated with her Masters in Fine Arts in 2012. She is the founder of ARThaus, a painting studio for art enthusiasts from all walks of life. For the past 15 years, she has been teaching both children and adults in various schools and her studio.

Carolyn’s works address today’s fast-paced society and questions the possibility of a better-appreciated life, family and culture in contemporary city living. As a nyonya, she has vested time and energy in uncovering her roots and unearthing this ‘disappearing’ culture.

The evolution of Carolyn’s artistic practice has led her to produce some of the most assertive works in the field of Peranakan contemporary art. Her pieces are distinctively vibrant, modern with her trademark gold embellishments and a staggering amount of detail paid to every individual masterful work. Carolyn dwells in the reconstruction of her ‘disappearing’ Peranakan heritage and intends to resurrect it through her art. She pensively chooses her subjects and weaves together her philosophical beliefs and treasured culture in every of her paintings.
