SINGAPORE - Over three hours, artists Jamie Teo and Zhang Chunlei collaborated by painting on two canvases and exchanging them every 10 minutes during a canvas swop organised by UOB.

The two 60cm by 60cm paintings, with distinctly Singaporean motifs - hawker fare such as Nonya kueh, satay and roti prata, and HDB living with cartoon characters in a block of flats - came to life at the UOB Art Gallery in Raffles Place on Monday .

After the two paintings are sold, UOB will donate sales proceeds to The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund.While Ms Teo's art revolves around abstract colour gradients, Mr Zhang's style combines mosaic-style illustrations and cartoon characters. "When I first saw his paintings, I wasn't sure how we were going to merge our styles together. But in the end, we did," she said, adding that it felt natural after they started painting.
