ARTIST’S PROFILE
The late Mr Martin Fu

​

An oil painter, Martin Fu was born in Singapore in 1915. 

He loved to paint with oils but could never afford canvases.

So he painted on wooden boards. 

Financially, he was a poor man but lived a very rich life as he enjoyed classical music and European opera,

ballet music and reading about the art masters.

Unable to support his family through selling his paintings,

he worked as a commercial artist in an advertising agency, making layouts for advertisements.

He lived and died in Singapore in 1997.
