About us 关于我们

商业与慈善论坛聚焦全球慈善、家族传承、社会创新、可持续发展和科技创投等前沿议题，是亚洲最具权威性的商业和慈善跨界融合创新论坛。本论坛立志成为“东方达沃斯”，以亚洲价值观为基础，展示亚洲视角，通过基于价值的对话与联系沟通展现亚洲的自信。

高科技的快速发展拓展了商业与慈善领域更为广阔的影响力投资机遇和跨界融合创新空间。亚洲作为全球政治经济格局中的重要组成部分，近些年来涌现出了众多对于财富传承和公益慈善有需求的新晋财富家族。因此，本论坛的使命是在亚洲和全世界倡导赋予财富以使命，而新加坡是全球财富所有者和具有资本影响力的人一同实践该倡议并建立一个更美好的世界的枢纽。

本论坛能够大获成功的秘诀是论坛以参会者相互影响为出发点。诸多的新富家庭代表了当今的经济新引擎；而“富过三代“的百年家族则代表了在其多代传承的历史中所积累的韧性及智慧，对他们来说，慈善事业和影响力投资在传承家族价值和建立强大社会资本方面发挥着关键作用。我们的论坛将这两群人汇聚在一起，帮助他们建立共识与共同价值观，加速建立信任，从而最终在商业和慈善事业之间创造广泛的协同效应。

新加坡单一家族办公室生态的蓬勃发展为论坛提供了亚洲单一家办与参会者的强大网络。2023年11月9至10日，第七届商业和慈善论坛将在新加坡举办。本论坛的丰富内容包括15个以上的主题演讲和专题讨论，25个以上的炉边谈话讨论与大师课，以及各种社交机会。论坛提供了一个深入了解跨领域话题的机会，而这些话题则对应着亚洲最紧迫的商业与慈善挑战。穿梭于这座东西方交流的桥梁，我们诚邀全球家族办公室和家族基金会负责人来到新加坡，参与这个与志同道合的亚洲同僚学习与交流的年度盛会。我们期待与您在新加坡相见。

The Business and Philanthropy Forum is the most exclusive gathering tackling state-of-the-art topics: global philanthropy, family succession, social innovation, sustainability, and technology ventures that integrate business and philanthropy perspectives in Asia. Aspiring to become the “Davos East” of Asia, the Forum is grounded in Asia values and presents Asia perspectives, and projects Asia confidence through valued-based conversations and connections.

Driven by the global political economy and owing to technological advancements and increased opportunities for impact investment and cross-sectoral innovation, Asia is seeing the rise of many new money families with a need for wealth succession and philanthropy planning. Therefore, the mission of the Forum is to advocate the alignment of wealth with a purpose in Asia and beyond, with Singapore as a pivotal point for such collaborations to happen between global wealth owners and capital influencers to build a better world.

The success of the Forum is grounded in the emphasis on peer-to-peer influences. New money families represent today’s driver of economic growth, while multi-generational old money families that are rich ‘beyond’ three generations are repositories of long-standing resilience and wisdom, with philanthropy and impact investment playing a critical role in carrying the family value and building a strong social capital. Our Forum engages these two peer groups to build consensus and shared values, accelerate the trust building, and ultimately create broad synergies across business and philanthropy.

The booming single family office ecosystem in Singapore has given the Forum a strong network of single family office and participants from Asia. Our 7th Business and Philanthropy Forum will be hosted in Singapore from 9th to 10th November 2023. With a strong lineup of over 15 keynote speeches and panels, 25 breakout fireside chats and masterclasses, and networking experiences, we will offer informative deep dive into cross-cutting thematic topics that represent the most pressing business and philanthropic challenges in the region. Leveraging the Forum as a bridge between the East and West, we would like to invite global family office and foundation principals to convene in Singapore for a once-a-year like-minded peer-to-peer learning and networking opportunities with their Asian counterparts. We look forward to welcoming you in Singapore.

Chen YU fan   “Derivative – Remaining Scenery”

陈彧凡 (b. 1973 ) 《 衍生物-剩余的风景 》 ｜布上丙烯｜

80 x 80cm｜Acrylic on Canvas｜2022

Bids start from /起拍价：SGD 40,000

The artwork achieves subtle spatial changes through the flow of acrylic paints in different directions. The slight curling at the four corners is filled with conflict, resistance, and restless drama. It alters the traditional way of viewing flat works, transforming it from a conventional painting on canvas to an “object”. The repetitive “flow” represents the practice emphasized in Zen Buddhism, which is a particularly Eastern way of thinking, yet presented in a Western form.

作品通过不同方向的丙烯颜料的流淌以达到空间上的微妙变化。四个角的微翘充满了冲突、反抗、不安分的戏剧性。改变了传统平面作品的观看方式，它已经不是传统意义上的架上绘画而是一件“物”。反复的“流淌”也就是禅宗强调的修炼过程，这是一个特别东方的思维方式而呈现的形态却是西方的。

Emi Avora- writeup for ‘Deep in Thought’ and ‘Forest Dance’

In both paintings an amalgamation of personal observations and universal symbols drawn from the everyday and mythology are used to create compositions that touch on the main themes I am currently concerned about: our sense of identity, our environment and how we come across in existing within it, cultural crossroads of east and west, past and present as well as visions of the future. Rather than offering specific narratives, the unorthodox compositions, dreamy use of color and the combination of figuration and abstraction create open propositions for an immersion in spaces for dreaming.

‘Deep in thought’ is based on an image of a boy deeply focused on an activity while surrounded by tropical nature, a large image of a Cycladic Venus statue as well as a form of a monkey in the background. All of those could be read as guardians as well as potential threats. Creating a dreamy world that could potentially be disturbed or put out of balance, I come to ponder on the fragility of motherhood as well as the fragility of our systems and their power to protect us.

In ‘Forest Dance’ I come to utilize the ancient idea of a world where nature, myths and people coexisted in the same space. Nature and particularly the forest were considered spaces inhabited by vegetation, animals, spirits, and people in mutual respect. An encounter of a symbol of Artemis, the ancient Greek Goddess of Nature with a forest hunter does not represent a fight as it might seem but more of a ritual dance. The setting of the tropical forest and the strong light act as a portal for the viewer into these possibilities of co-existence.

艾米·阿沃拉（Emi Avora）-《深思》（Deep in Thought）和《森林之舞》（Forest Dance）的创作说明在这两幅画中，我结合了个人的观察和从日常生活和神话中汲取的普遍符号，创造了一些构图，触及了我目前关注的主要主题：我们的身份认同、我们的环境以及我们在其中存在的方式、东西方的文化交汇、过去和现在以及未来的愿景。这些画并没有提供具体的叙事，而是通过非正统的构图、梦幻般的色彩运用以及具象和抽象的结合，为观者提供了一种沉浸在梦境空间的可能性。

《深思》是基于一个男孩的形象，他正专注地进行着某种活动，周围是热带自然，背景中还有一个巨大的西克拉迪斯维纳斯雕像（Cycladic Venus statue）和一只猴子的形态。这些都可以被理解为守护者或潜在的威胁。我创造了一个梦幻的世界，它可能会被打破或失去平衡，我开始思考母性的脆弱性以及我们的系统保护我们的能力和力量。

在《森林之舞》中，我利用了一个古老的观念，即自然、神话和人类共存于同一空间。自然，尤其是森林，被认为是植物、动物、精灵和人类相互尊重地居住的空间。一位阿尔忒弥斯（Artemis）的象征与一位森林猎人相遇，并不代表一场战斗，而更像是一场仪式舞蹈。阿尔忒弥斯是古希腊自然女神。热带森林和强烈的光线为观者创造了一个通往这些共存可能性的入口。

“Warm Spring”

杨媛媛 (Female artist.)  《暖春》｜布面油画

169 x 130cm｜Oil on Canvas｜2022

Bids start from /起拍价：SGD 42,000

This piece was created in the spring of 2022, during a period of extended confinement in the studio, resulting in a low emotional state. In the past, every April, the artist would go to Daxing in southern Beijing to see the pear blossoms. The hundred-year-old pear trees would bloom magnificently, resembling burning fireworks, with the shadows of trees intermingling with the blossoms. While confined at home, memories naturally recalled those scenes and emotions.

The joyful and harmonious state between people, those happy days exuding the fragrance of freedom. Creating this artwork, the artist hopes to bring a bit of warm spring sentiment to themselves and the world in the midst of austerity, believing that spring will always come.

Highly representative, the artist has consistently used a small lamb to express their personal journey of growth and their current social relationships. The artist firmly believes that humanity will usher in an even brighter future. Through life experiences and an understanding of the world, they still possess a warm and clear heart, using their modest light to illuminate both themselves and the world.

作品创作于2022年春天，那时长时间禁足在工作室，情绪低落，以前，每年4月会去北京城南大兴看梨花，百年的梨树花盛开时极为灿烂，像燃烧的焰火，树荫与花影交错····

宅在屋里，记忆会自然调动那时的情景和情绪，人与人之间其乐融融的状态，那些快乐的日子，散发着自由的芬芳。画这幅作品，希望在严峻的环境里，给自己和世界带来些许温暖的春意，相信春天总会到来。

非常有代表性的，艺术家一直以一只小羊表达个人成长历程及其当前的社会关系。艺术家坚信人类将迎来更加美好的未来。通过生活经历和对世界的理解，他们依然怀有一颗温暖明朗的心，用自己的微光照亮自己和这个世界。
