Hafiz Osman's Art: a birthday surprise.

Hafiz Osman is a Singaporean artist who works in many media: painting, sculpture, designed objects and interiors. He is uncle to Ainan Celeste Cawley, 6, the scientific child prodigy - and brother to Syahidah Osman Cawley, also an artist. (To read about Ainan, the prodigy, go to: http://scientific-child-prodigy.blogspot.com/2006/10/scientific-child-prodigy-guide.html )

"Hafiz Osman's Birthday Surprise!" is an exhibition of some of his works, showing at the Gone Fishing Cafe, Chu Lin Road, Hillview, Singapore, from October 22nd to November 2nd 2006. This cafe has evolved into an alternative arts venue, showing art works, installations and photography and attracting much attention for its initiatives in this area. The exhibition is called "Hafiz Osman's Birthday Surprise!" because it is just that: a birthday surprise. He has no idea the exhibition is taking place and will only discover it on being invited to the cafe for a birthday party, with his family.

Here we have a few of his art works. "Copy of a copy" and the Blue Writing series will be shown at the exhibition.
