Yeoh Choo Kuan
Yeoh Choo Kuan (b.1988) presents one of his landscape paintings, Window 10 (2017). Looking at the views of long horizons, mountains, trees, the nearby airport runways, geometric shapes of buildings, and the ever-changing forms and colors in the sky, his works are inspired by the landscape surrounding his working environment. These paintings are great examples illustrating his signature 'fleshing abstraction' technique that addresses the social and political approach on violence coalescing into a visual experience carved on linen. Presenting in a window grid-like set, this six paneled work creates an imposed distance between the view and the viewer by further implying a sense of inwardness.
Mathew Tom
Mathew Tom (b.1984) is a New York-based multi-disciplinary artist. He has been developing a world in which he combines elements from Asian traditional painting and European classical painting to create his own utopia called "Society of Friends".Figures and animals are part of a larger mythology within his works that is in pursuit of the idyllic community he desires. In a world where everyone is in such perpetual bliss, even tigers have transcended their animal instincts and have joined the society as well. Deeply interested in the power of images, Tom ponders the supernatural abilities a painting can express and if these images can transcend geographic borders and cultural borders and exist independently from their original context.
