Nando’s Art Initiative presents Hug Yin Wan’s ‘The Crow’ Solo Exhibition

Nando’s Lot 123 is diving into the depths of reality with Nando’s Art Initiative 2015 Fine Art Grand Prize Winner Hug Yin Wan’s first solo art exhibition. As part of Nando’s constant support and dedication to the winners of Nando’s Art Initiative, Yin Wan will be showcasing his collection of artworks entitled ‘The Crow’ at Lot 123, Nando’s Art Space at Chinatown from 25 ^th Nov – 8 ^th Dec 2016.

Yin Wan‘s fascination with the Buddhist concept of impermanence in life is reflected in his artworks, the cycle of life and death a prevailing theme to the collection. Symbolizing the arrival of death, the Crow draws from Chinese culture and its inauspicious connotations to wickedness and cruelty. Yin Wan explores the idea with a painful awareness that change is beyond control, using hands as a symbol of going through the motions between humans and the start of new beginnings.

Inspired by his experiences and surroundings, Yin Wan embraces the natural phenomenon, an acceptance on both negative and positive sides of temporary existence in this world. His unique style in incorporating natural materials like plywood as well as wood-cut and oil paint techniques breathes life into his artworks, injecting surrealism into the duality of matter in life.

The way he explores the subject of reality through fine art illustrates such maturity and depth, creating masterpieces that leave us in wonder. We look forward to see more great things from Yin Wan in the art world.” said Mac Chung Lynn, Group CEO of Nando’s Chickenland Malaysia and Singapore.

The Multi-award Winning Dating Site - LOVESTRUCK® coming to Malaysia

Online dating is very common nowadays, and a few of my friends have met their other half online and tied the knots to live happily ever after. We gonna accept this part of our super busy modern life. Honestly, I don’t care how a couple first met, be it online or met at the conventional way, who cares? I trust that as long as you are happy in relationships, how you first met your other half does not really matter. Most likely, the reaction of your single friend to your reply of met the other half online will be a jealous sigh and a request to share the name of the site you two met.

Well, here is the tip – start your love story on Lovestruck®, the Multi-award winning dating site and app originated from the UK. Unlike any other dating site/app, Lovestruck® was designed specifically for busy single professionals seeking serious relationships.

Lovestruck®, which is now available in Malaysia, is indeed quite unique in its own way. How?

First and most important peculiarity is that all registrations, profiles and pictures are vetted by humans – so the chance you encounter an insulting profile or inappropriate image as a profile picture is zero. If you actually register (totally for free), you can have a peak and trust me – you will see only the appropriate candidates, female or male – whoever you are looking for – from the age range you set up while registering to the site or via app.

Secondly, Lovestruck® is the pioneer in implementing the revolutionary idea of profile validation. What does it mean? To put it simply, any member can provide its social media IDs on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook – so that the Lovestruck® team will confirm that the member is single, professional and local. 100% privacy – no one will see your actual social media accounts.
