National heroes and enigmatic figures, 19th-century painters Raden Saleh and Juan Luna traversed the colonial territories of Southeast Asia and the imperial cities of Europe. Their agile navigation of these competing positions resulted in dramatic paintings that are today animated as allegories of anti-colonialism in their respective homelands of Indonesia and the Philippines. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at National Gallery Singapore, this catalogue features over a hundred full-colour image plates of their works: from sweeping Orientalist hunting scenes to gritty Realist portrayals of the working class. Essays and biographical timelines examine each artist's practices, as well as frame them within the cultural and social dynamics of the 19th century. AUTHOR: Russell Storer is Deputy Director (Curatorial & Collections) at National Gallery Singapore, where he has co-curated the exhibitions A Fact Has No Appearance and YAYOI KUSAMA: Life is the Heart of a Rainbow. He was previously Head of Asian and Pacific Art at Queensland Art Gallery / Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia, where he was co-curator of the 6th, 7th and 8th Asia Pacific Triennials (2009, 2012, 2015), and curator of Cai Guo-Qiang: Falling Back to Earth (2013). Other exhibitions include the 3rd Singapore Biennale (co-curator, 2011), Simryn Gill: Gathering (MCA, Sydney, 2008) and Matthew Ngui: Points of View (MCA, Sydney, 2007). He writes regularly on Asian and Australian contemporary art.
