Razzouk, NUS Medicine International Council member, hosted and curated an art exhibition at the East Garden Gallery of the Fullerton Hotel from 3 to 8 September, featuring Lebanese artist Laudi Abilama\u2019s new series especially created for this event, \u201cTransformational Leaders.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The net proceeds from the sale of the artworks will be donated to research on ageing at NUS Medicine with the goal of raising SGD $500,000 to support NUS Medicine\u2019s important and leading research in the field of ageing and ageing-related diseases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Laudi Abilama, a Lebanese artist, is focused on people and personalities, commenting on events and circumstances that have at some point influenced or touched her.\u00a0 Working from her studio in Broummana, a Lebanese town in Mount Lebanon, she uses a screen printing technique (a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed) on paper and linen.\u00a0\u00a0She mixes her own pigment and forces it into the mesh openings by the fill blade or squeegee and onto the printing surface during the squeegee stroke, printing one colour at a time, which makes each piece unique and not duplicable.\u00a0Integrated into her images are subtle, spontaneous, un-calculated traces of oriental forms, created much in the same way they were hundreds of years ago.\u00a0 She exhibited in Lebanon, England, the UAE, Kuwait and Singapore and her work has been acquired by collectors around the world, and sold at Sotheby\u2019s in London.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Exhibition <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Transformational Leaders\u2019 features paintings by artist Laudi Abilama of Lee Kuan Yew, King Hussein of Jordan, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mahatma Gandhi, Mikhail Gorbachev, King Bhumibol the Great, Charles De Gaulle, Zhou Enlai, Mustapha Kemal Ataturk, John Paul II, Aga Khan IV and Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Curator<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Assaad W. Razzouk is a British-Lebanese clean energy entrepreneur and the founder of Sana Gallery, established in 2011 in Singapore.\u00a0 Sana Gallery is Asia&#8217;s first Contemporary Middle Eastern Art Gallery. \u00a0After being nested in the heart of the Spottiswoode Park district during four years, Sana Gallery has now become a Pop-Up Gallery, running curated shows in South-East Asia. Sana Gallery serves as a platform for new images and ideas about the Middle East \u2013 presenting exciting Middle Eastern talent to clients and partners in Singapore and South East Asia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About NUS Medicine and Ageing Research <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is now clear that ageing is the biggest risk factor for a variety of diseases that together deprive life quality as people get older and are increasing health care costs in Singapore (and around the world).\u00a0 In fact, ageing will likely be the single most important medical issue of this century. By finding strategies to slow ageing, it will be possible to keep people healthy and functional longer. NUS Medicine seeks to accomplish this goal through recruitment of experts in the biology of ageing, world class research to understand the ageing process and first-of-their-kind clinical trials to mitigate human ageing and treat age-related diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. For three millennia, people have been trying to slow ageing and it is now the era where this can be accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Established in 1905, the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine is a leading medical educational and research institution in Asia. With 18 departments and two centres, the School covers a full spectrum of medical specialties. Clinical faculty also staff the National University Hospital (NUH), which is the primary training institution for the School\u2019s students. Together with NUH, NUS Medicine has played a profound role in shaping doctors and scientists, who will be future leaders in healthcare, academic medicine and public service in Singapore, Asia and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition space has been kindly donated in support of this charitable fund raising by the Fullerton Hotel. The funding for the cocktail reception has been kindly donated in support of this charitable fund raising by Assaad W.
