event report - Prudential Eye Programme
The Prudential Eye Zone is a curated selection of works
by 17 contemporary artists from Indonesia, Japan,
Korea, Malaysia and Singapore. These South-East Asian
countries all have thriving art scenes and the exhibition
features works that range across video and digital art,
installation, sculpture, painting and photography.
A poetic sensibility runs through many of these
exhibits, from the constantly shifting imagery of
‘Flowers and People – Dark’ by Japanese Collective
teamLab to the towering sculpture of Korean artist
Seokyoung Kang through to the almost abstract
paintings of Indonesian painter Christine Ay Tjoe. In
other works, notably by Singaporean artist Donna Ong
and Indonesian artist Bagus Pandega, lo-fi technology
is harnessed to evocative ends. Social and political
issues are subtly raised in the photographs of
Malaysian artist Sherman Ong and more directly
addressed in the work of Japanese artists Chim↑Pom.
The Prudential Eye Zone, co-curated by Serenella
Ciclitira, Honor Harger, YoungJoo Lee and Korean
musician
T.O.P
highlights
the
diversity
of
contemporary art from Indonesia, Japan, Korea,
Malaysia and Singapore. The exhibition invites
viewers to tease out both links between the works of
artists from these countries as well as different local
inflections and nuances.

The Prudential Eye Zone exhibition picks up the baton of the exhibition that it
follows on from, the Prudential Eye Awards Finalists Exhibition, in demonstrating the
depth and versatility of contemporary art being produced across Asia at the moment.
Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia and Singapore have already been subjects of exhibitions
organised by the Prudential Eye Programme and both of us have learned more
about the fascinating art scenes in each of those regions through our travels
and subsequently those exhibitions and their accompanying publications. And
adding a focus on Japan to this exhibition, along with those four regions, is most
timely given the success of Japanese artists at the recent Prudential Eye Awards.
The collaborative curatorial approach to the exhibition has provided a great
opportunity to start a very fruitful dialogue with curators who have a new, fresh
vision of art from these five countries. For us, the Prudential Eye Programme is very
much about the conversations that take place in the production of the exhibitions, the
Awards, the fair and the publications that make up the Programme. We fully believe
that such conversations are a vital part of the evolving discourse around contemporary
Asian art, and that the more people are talking about artists from the region, the better.
Bringing a curator on board from outside the visual arts, such as T.O.P, is exactly the type
of cross-disciplinary approach that we also hope will open up the contemporary Asian
art world to the wide audience that it deserves. We very much believe that improving
accessibility to contemporary Asian art is a key tenet to the Prudential Eye Programme.
The fantastic works made by artists across the region are more than just for curators,
collectors and curators – they deserve to be seen by a wide audience across Asia and beyond.
The Prudential Eye Programme is structured so that it has a solid foundation of
survey exhibitions that look at particular Asian countries – such as Prudential
Singapore Eye which runs concurrently with this exhibition at ArtScience Museum. The
Prudential Eye Awards bring together artists from these different regions across Asia
and celebrates their achievements, and the art fair, START, facilitates artists and gallerists
from Asia to exhibit with their peers from across the world. At the same time we recognise
globalisation is creating new conceptual and thematic links across different art scenes
in Asia. The Prudential Eye Zone exhibition reflects this increasing blurring of national
boundaries, by focusing on five countries rather than just one in particular. Whilst we
look forward to more survey shows of national scenes, the Programme will continue
to evolve as the art scene in Asia does, moving from local to national to international.
We want to thank our sponsor, Prudential, for their continued support of the
Programme. Without their support, the Programme would not be able to evolve
in the way that it does, and we are truly grateful. Serenella has greatly enjoyed cocurating the exhibition with the Korean film and music star T.O.P, the Executive
Director of ArtScience Museum, Honor Harger and the independent curator, YoungJoo
Lee. We would like to thank them all. Most importantly, as ever, we want to extend our
sincerest thanks to all the artists whose work has made this exhibition such as success.

Founders, Parallel Contemporary Art
Welcome to the Prudential Eye Zone, a unique exhibition that brings together
contemporary art works from across Asia, including those from previous Eye
exhibitions held in the region.
Following the exhibition of the shortlisted nominees for the Prudential Eye Awards
held at the Marina Bay Sands in January 2015, this exhibition continues the Asian
theme to showcase some of the most interesting works being created in this
region. We hope visitors to the Prudential Singapore Eye exhibition, which will run
until the end of June, will enjoy an additional perspective on Asian contemporary art.
Prudential has been part of Asia for more than 90 years and over the years, we have
witnessed both economic and social changes in Asia. Contemporary art allows us to gain
a deeper insight into today’s Asia through the skill and unique viewpoints of its artists.
Our business remains committed to serving the needs of Asia’s growing middle-class
families, and we remain committed to growing together with this region that we have
called home for so many decades.
While we join Singapore as it mourns the passing of its founding father Mr Lee Kwan Yew,
it is only befitting to honour his spirit by continuing to celebrate all that Singapore offers
to the world and its status as the contemporary arts hub of the region. We hope this
exhibition will inspire young people in Singapore and beyond to express their thoughts
and feelings through the creative medium of art.
Barry Stowe
Chief Executive, Prudential Coporation Asia
ArtScience Museum is delighted to be a partner of Prudential Eye Zone, a specially
curated exhibition of contemporary emerging art from Asia to run alongside the
Prudential Singapore Eye exhibition.
The Prudential Eye Zone provides a platform for 11 artists from five Asian countries –
Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Singapore enabling them to share their works
with a wide and diverse audience. The project embodies ArtScience Museum’s
commitment to supporting and nurturing artistic talent within the South East Asian
region, through a range of exciting exhibitions, events, educational programmes,
residencies and many other initiatives.
We are fortunate to be in a region that is becoming internationally known for its dynamic
art ecosystem. Singapore itself is in the midst of a cultural renaissance. The city-state
was recently named as one of the world’s top 12 cities to watch for contemporary art.
A combination of investment in excellent infrastructure, including outstanding museums
and galleries, a burgeoning art market, the growing national and international profile of
local artists, a focus on art’s education and increasing audience attendance to exhibitions
and fairs, has resulted in an art scene that is vibrant and thriving. As such, Singapore was
chosen as the perfect location for this exhibition.
Prudential Eye Zone highlights the ingenuity and talent of some of Asia’s most exciting
artists, and ArtScience Museum is proud to share their work with our visitors.

Executive Director, ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands
My interest in art began from admiring the concepts and visions of world-renowned
contemporary artists. Subsequently traveling around Asia, my interest naturally
expanded towards young and influential Asian contemporary artists. While in Asia,
I had the privilege to learn about the Prudential Eye Programme and decided to
participate in the Program as I felt deeply that it was a great platform to celebrate and
introduce young Asian contemporary artists. Whilst it has been difficult for me to visit many
exhibitions due to various concert and movie related schedules, I have always made it a
point to view different artworks through publications and on the internet. The latter has
recently become one of my most important pastimes. Every time I get to learn about a
new and original artwork, I usually share this with my acquaintances. One of the reasons I
am so interested in contemporary art is because it is quite intriguing to see how different
people have different views and opinions about the same artwork.
Ever since I was young I have been very sensitive about my music as well as my
fashion and design because the nature of my work has always revolved around expressing
myself. I have always observed and studied how to possess a youthful but sophisticated
emotional intelligence whilst being unique and different. These characteristics naturally
led me to spend a lot of time in collecting designer furniture as well as artworks and in
return it has become a great source of inner-energy and diversion from my busy life.
I sometimes have the chance to talk to new talented artists and even visit their studios
to personally see how an artwork is made. Every time I see a completed artwork that the
artist has put his heart and soul into, I get this excitement that I can’t describe in words.
Through viewing art, I got to realize that my job as a musician and actor is very similar to
an artist in the sense that we both create something from nothing. From this realisation
I hope to always find inspiration for my music and how I express myself.
Keisuke Jinba, Yunhee Lee and Kei Imazu are the artists participating in this exhibition
and are artists whom I have met during business trips or when I had schedules overseas.
I first encountered them through images of their works, which developed into the desire
to learn more about the artists and their works by meeting them personally at art fairs
and exhibitions. I wanted to introduce young artists who work with delicate details and
unique concepts that are similar to expressing the beauty of a previously unseen space,
but who still easily communicate with young audiences. I hope everyone who visits the
Prudential Eye Zone exhibition carries home with them the beauty, inspiration and good
energy from the various artworks.

Seung-hyun Choi, Singer & Actor
Seokyeong Kang, Yongseok Oh, and Teppie Kaneugi are artists born in the 1970’s who
have experienced the radical change that has taken place in various cultures, driven by
rapid economic development in Asia. Among these rapid changes, various media and
internet development in the 1990’s allowed them to accept western culture easily and in
doing so, affected the way they expressed themselves in their art in various ways. These
artists show ready-made objects of existing media to the audience, a method which
reflects current society and real life, re-shaped by the artist’s particular sensibilities. This
results in unique works that are very much of the present.
Japanese artist Teppei Kaneuji’s new work is a site specific installation. The artist collects
everyday objects such as toys, plastic containers, coat hangers. After assembling them,
the artist pours white resin on the cluster of objects. By repeating this process, the artist
completes the work on site. The final result seems to offer to the audience a peek into
the future, where current fashion and materials have disappeared.
Yongseok Oh uses existing movie clips for his work “Without Ending”. He compiles a
number of the final scenes from a variety of films and edits them into his work. The
audience might initially feel disorientated in watching the sequenced final scenes in
this video work since the clips are final scenes of classic movies which they might be
familiar with. However, these repeated final scenes are transformed into a creative
artwork where the artist has combined these individual scenes into an ongoing narrative.
By way of contrast, Seokyeong Kang’s work is a display of her delicate
sensibility. She uses industrial dish driers covered with knitting wool by winding
them around braces meticulously. When the audience views her work, the hard metal
interior of dish driers are masked by the knitting wool, expanding the narrative beyond its
physicality. Audiences can sense the warmth of these works and decipher new narratives.

Arin Dwihartanto Sunaryo
Artwork Description
At the time I have been developing a
specific material - (namely resin) and
painting method. I have been trying to
develop and combine the painting method
with a specific material, resin. I have
explored this technique for 7 years now,
and I still find the experiment an interesting
journey.
Artist Bio
Arin Dwihartanto Sunaryo (b. 1978) has been
obsessed with the idea of painting as an
expansion of a human method of freezing
and preserving. Fed up with traditional
material, in early 2000, Sunaryo began
experimenting with resin. He subsequently
settled on resin as his key material, not only
because it has been used in both primeval
and modern culture to preserve anything
valuable in human lives, but also for his
compulsion in incorporating ‘an alchemic’
process in painting. For Arin, resin is a
multi-faceted substance—it is either fluid,
jellied or solid—that requires natural and
unpredictable elements, such as time,
temperature as well as humane
intervention, in its physical transformation
(of colors, shapes, concreteness,
dimensions).
Arin has been experimenting to incorporate,
different materials in his resin works.
Following the eruption of Merapi in 2010, he
began to experiment by using volcanic ashes
he collects from Yogyakarta as the painting
pigment, highlighting monochromatic,
earthy hues that manifest in grainy, rainy
or explosive splashes, in order to convey
his memories of his experience living in the
Southeast Asian ring-of-fire. In other earlier
series, he has also ‘preserved’ some
photographic and digital images in the
resin, showing a self-referential composition
of his painting process and visual structures that are imbued with some painterly
qualities. Arin’s working process reflects a
perpetual exploration of materials, method,
ideas and questions around our common
obsession toward ‘eternality’.
My understanding is that this particular
approach is not merely as a practical choice
but the works can be viewed as an artistic
strategy or statement that is related to a
specific cultural reference. For example If
one relates it to ‘resin culture’ (industrial
objects, preservation) or gestural painting
method or even a narration.
In my early years of using resin, I was driven
by the idea of ‘abstraction’ as my entry
point to turn my resin planes into paintings.
I experimented with abstract techniques,
eg. splattering, drizzling, pouring, creating
painterly strokes etc. As time went by, the
act of preservation became a dominant
motive instead. For my own reference, I
used digital print to record the composition
of my painting process.
I combine ready-made pigment with volcanic
ashes in which I preserve as pigment. It
often comes in a form of grainy, rainy or
explosive splashes.
This experiment on preserving abstraction
has brought me many interesting challenges.

Christine Ay Tjoe
Artwork Description
There is a lot that happens in our daily lives,
we are constantly doing many things for
others, intensively. Which means one has to
perform as well as we can; diligently, in an
elegant way, continuously, but with much
fun and awareness to keep the emotion still
alive. The results in return, is almost always
unexpected. To me, I want to keep to this
ethos, and even wish to reach a higher
ethos, I am reminded that a balloon can
fly high, it will keep going higher and will
always be free.
Artist Bio
Christine Ay Tjoe is an Indonesian artist
especially known for her intricate layered
paintings full of colorful shapes and strong
linear strokes. With her earlier experiments
in drypoint technique, Ay Tjoe cultivated her
sharp, fluent and vigorous lines. To produce
the same effect on her tableaux she uses
protean oil-bars, melding figuration and
abstraction.
While Indonesia continues to hold fast to
constricting traditional values, Ay Tjoe does
not hesitate to express her inner feelings
such as melancholy, struggle, pain and
happiness through her art, eliminating these
phases of personal life through her rooted
compositions. Unlike earlier generations and
even contemporaries of Indonesian
artists who are drawn towards political
satire, Ay Tjoe’s works tend to be less
political. Instead, her interests have
circulated around the extensive issues of
personal human life. Her works highlight
universal issues in modern society and
human existence, and her art is a modern
allegory creating an opportunity for each
of us to face ourselves.
Born in 1973, Christine Ay Tjoe lives and
works in Bandung, Indonesia. Her works
have been the subject of many international
exhibitions, including Singapore Art Museum
(2012) and Saatchi Gallery (London, 2011).

Interstitial Organism a creature of ‘Terhah’
the imaginary language which means “idea’.
It is based on my observation of a fictitious
world creature on a microscopic scale.
Artist Bio
Micro-macro organism connection came to
my senses as the starting point for making
an artwork, I often spent my time observing
the details of these small tiny being.
Sometimes I even take a visit to a laboratory,
hoping to find something interesting.
The execution has two tendencies: the first
tendency is to engage real living entities to
witness real interaction. The other tendency
is to explore a new world created by
figments of imagination, including creatures
and landscapes.
It is a fact that I had created the first imaginary language in the world — The language
‘Terhah’, the language of ‘ideas’.

Bagus is a Bandung based artist who has an
interest in sound and motion functions in a
variety of electronic components. A variety
of used and obsolete electronic equipment
is the main material that he processes and
stand as sources of ideas. Pandega’s work
is a cross between contemporary sculpture
and installation. The interaction with visitors
is on aspect that has always been important
in Pandega’s work. He won the 2nd Bandung
Contemporary Art Awards in 2012.
Artwork Description
The lack of certainty: A state of having
limited knowledge where it is impossible
to exactly describe the existing state, a
future outcome, or more than one possible
outcome.
Uncertainty is a problem we face in a
modern society today. The knowledge
infused and experiences turn our everyday
decisions a deliberate consideration.The
more we know, the more we understand, the
more we understand, the more we doubt.
The world changes everyday, every
second, every minute. We are enveloped by
change and will continue to follow change.
Uncertainty lies everywhere, and one cannot
escape from it.

JAPAN
Chim↑Pom
Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Artist collective formed in 2005 in Tokyo
with Ushiro Ryuta, Hayashi Yasutaka,
Ellie, Okada Masataka, Inaoka Motomu and
Mizuno Toshinori and all in their twenties
at the time. Responding instinctively to the
“real” of their times, Chim↑Pom has
continuously released works that fully
intervene in contemporary society with
strong social messages.
This video work films Chim­↑Pom members,
together with friends made in Soma city,
Fukushima in May 2011, doing 100
sequential yells of “KIAI,” which is
Japanese for shouts showing a fighting
spirit. As Soma city is one of the affected
areas of the Great East Japan earthquake,
these people lost loved ones, their houses
were washed away, and they spent over two
months in the destroyed city despite fear of
radiation. Unlike other areas intensively
covered by mass media, this area had
suffered from a shortage of volunteers
probably due to it being so close to the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
These were real shouts filmed all in one-cut
and ad-libbed, by the young locals who,
although being victims themselves, had
continued to provide relief and help towards
reconstruction.
Using video as a primary discipline, their
expressions freely cross over a range of
media from installation to performance.
While based in Tokyo, they develop their
activities globally in exhibitions and projects
in various countries.
More recently, they have expanded their
activities further to include the direction
of art magazines, and exhibition curation.
Japanese-language publications ‘Naze
Hiroshima No Sora Wo PIKA! To Saseteha

of Hiroshima “PIKA!”?] (co-edited with Abe
Kenichi, Tokyo: MUJIN-TO Production,

Kei Imazu
Artwork Description
Once a human shape is turned into an image
under a certain idea, its essential impression
remains unaffected even if its appearance
are changed to some extent. Its presence
even intensifies over time in history. I started
Broken Image from seeking such images
as motifs of painting, and have gathered
images under keywords such as “ancient”,
“nude”, “vandalism”, “attacked art”, “iconoclasm”, “Zankestu” (incomplete remains),
“looted art”, among others.
Artist Bio
An emerging Japanese painter, Kei Imazu
has been working in the media of painting
throughout her career. She developed a
distinct methodology to digitally combine
and alter miscellaneous images she collected
from various sources and then paint the
created image on canvas, which allows her
to decompose “painting” and paradoxically
emphasise the presence of motifs. In recent
years Imazu has been particularly interested
in finding images in art history of different
periods and regions based on a chosen
theme. Kei Imazu was born in Yamaguchi,
Japan in 1980. She currently lives and works
in Kanagawa, south of Tokyo.
Broken Image refers to two things: an image
damaged in reality, and an image shattered
on painting. I intend to capture the state
where broken images with their own
individual histories appear as they are
through material of paint.

Keisuke Jinba
Artwork Description
The title ‘B.T.P.’ is taken after the line “Body
Touches Painting.” I paint it by ‘touching’
pigment on a medium with my fingers.
The work is similar to the moulding
technique used in sculpture, it is the direct
contact of hand, fingers and fingerprints
that compose the canvas. The painting also
contains words. I consider the painting to
function as a memo or a sketch that
summarises an environment or a situation
that surrounds me.
Artist Bio
I am keen to find the boundary between the
youth culture - our pop and the ordinary and the historical and traditional context.
I also aim to withdraw others’ personal
experiences and their relationships to
myself. It is only when these two
perspectives overlap that I feel I captured
the person in front of me as a target of my
painting.
I paint through observing various elements
withdrawn from a media (i.e. a person), and
this way I seek to extend my thoughts
beyond myself, and the context behind
these persons.

Artwork Description
Neither a pre-recorded animation nor on
loop, the work is being rendered in real time
by a computer programme. The flowers
spring up, grow, bud and blossom before
their petals begin withering, and the flowers
eventually fade away. The cycle of growth
and decay repeats itself in perpetuity.
Artist Bio
In 2001, a handful of creatively minded
young technologists came together around
the leading visionary Toshiyuki Inoko
(b. 1977) in Tokyo to form the collective
teamLab. A self-proclaimed “ultratechnologists group,” teamLab is an
experimental incubation laboratory for new
ideas and expressions. Their work
encompasses animation, performance,
fashion, design, entertainment, and even
medical science.
Implicit in teamLab’s works are new values
to guide individual behavior in the
information era and the proposal of an
alternative model for societal development.
Their work offers insight into the nature and
vitality of contemporary Japanese culture
past and present.
teamLab have had solo exhibitions at
National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts,
Taichung, Taiwan (2012), Pace Gallery,
New York (2014) and National Museum of
Emerging Science and Innovation, Tokyo,
Japan (2014-2015). teamLab has received
a number awards including Lava Virtual
ReVolution 2012’s Architectural, Art and
Culture Award and Unity Awards 2013.
If the viewer is standing still about 2 meters
from the screen, new flowers are born .
When the viewer approaches very close to
the work, the flowers start shed their petals
all at once, whither and die. The interaction
between the viewer and the artwork causes
continuous change in the artwork; previous
visual states can never be replicated, and
will never reoccur.

Teppei Kaneuji
Artwork Description
I often use white in my work, but I think of
it as a phenomenon. While being the color
of an object, it also simultaneously denotes
a void or blank space as well as a presence
or absence. It also sometimes suggests the
act of resetting or a reversal in values. These
aspects interest me.
Artist Bio
Most of my artworks are created through
a process of collecting, dissecting, and
then reassembling or accumulating existing
objects or images and thereby liberating
them from their original meanings,
functions, names, roles and scales.
It is a process of taking everyday life and
thoughts, setting them against all that
surrounds them - giant or minute amorphous
natural phenomena, artificial natural
environments, the city, history, culture,
economy, trends and fiction - and then
conceiving of all those things as having
physical existence and actually constructing
connections between them. It is my hope
that the artworks bring together
opposing states - good and bad, true and
false, two-dimensional and threedimensional, light and dark, small and large,
near and far, meaningful and meaningless,
existence and absence, known and
unknown, momentary and eternal - in the
same way that a tunnel might connect
different worlds, or adjacent tables different
people, or a blender different things.
In the work Hakuchizu (White Map),
in which I sprinkled plaster powder over
some readymade objects that I had laid out
on a table, an ordinary situation was
temporarily altered in the way that, for
example, a familiar place changes after a
snowfall. I connect these shapes to create a
single new form. My works are intended to
help make connections between individual
lives and thoughts and the amorphous
mass of history, overwhelming systems, and
natural phenomena, and might be seen as
dioramas of these abstract events.

Artist Bio
Suki Seokyeong Kang was born in Seoul,
Korea, live and work in Seoul and London.
Her work exist in a wide variety of media
including, Painting, Installation and
Sculpture. Kang attainted her BFA and MFA
in Oriental Painting at Ewha
Womans Universitiy (Seoul, Korea), followed
by an MA in Painting at Royal College of Art
(London, UK). Her work has been selected
for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2012,
and as part of the group her work exhibited
in the New Contemporaries 2012 show in
Liverpool Biennale and ICA, London. She
recently finished her site­specitic solo
exhibition titled ‘GRANDMOTHER TOWER’
at Space Can and the ‘Polite Owl in the
Valley’ at Gallery Factory in Seoul.
The core of Suki Seokyeong Kang’s work is
the role of the artist as a mediator of
tensions and clashes that arise between
objects as they are gathered and arranged
with text­drew it into a complete pictorial
space and maximized the dichotomous
psychology involved. The elements like
strength weakness, robustness and frailty
co­exist in Kang’s work with the rules of
towering and threading. Kang’s varied
artistic encompasses painting, installation
and performance. It is use of the
moderate space afforded by engaging the
paintings and sculptural objects in an
interactive game-like dynamic.
The composition in the space is essentially
a celebration of the accumulation and
rhythmic nature of time, whether it is the
time spent in the studio and making work
or the time contained in each thing that it
consists.

‘La Divina Commedia’ influenced by Dante
Alighieri’s famous trilogy delivers a
dreamlike and mysterious story. White,
shining ceramic material further intensifies
its mystery.
There once was a girl who received an
oracle, telling her the future. The
knowledge, the predestined desire and
insecurity, left her troubled. In search of
happiness and peace, she embarked on a
journey. Along the way, she encountered
many obstacles. But at the end she
discovered the peace and she had been
striving for.

Yunhee Lee, a Korean artist born in June 4,
1986. She majored in Ceramic Glass from
Hong-Ik University of Korea.
She makes sculptural ceramic works which
depicts myths. The characteristic of her
works are the mixed identities of East and
West which stems from her keen interest in
museums and the restoration of cultural
assets. Western myths, animation and
figurines collected as objects are reflected
in her work.
The work ‘La Divina Commedia’ was
motivated by a myth. In this narrative of
taking risks while proceeding to a
destination. I placed a female protagonist.
By overcoming anxiety and suppressing
desire. The girl reaches a state of ultimate
peace.

that last cuts are show together with ending
credits, such that the two overlap.
Realistically speaking endlessness is
impossible, especially in the field of art.
For example, canvas sizes are limited and
video cameras cannot capture scenes
eternally. Artists thus always arrive at an end
point. Due to the limitations of visual space,
the view of the world captured by an artist
must be downscaled; a set of
extremely compressed extracts. Isn’t this
why artistic creation involves so much
agony? If endlessness were possible, what
would happen? With such thoughts in
mind, this work was created as an attempt
to eliminate limitations to visual spaces; to
avoid placing a full-stop at the end of a view
o the world, and so forth. Regardless of the
type of movie involved, I used the very last
scenes that could be continually connected.
Although this would require filler
examination, it is enough to say that I made
chief use of long-shot final scenes or those
with a zoom, which enabled me to see
landscape images. In addition, the endings
of films are usually accompanied by the
background music, providing the unique
effect of endlessly overlapping lyrical
sounds, which I find very interesting. I thus
plan to investigate background sound in my
future work.

Sherman Ong
Artwork Description
HanoiHaiku Series
I am interested in the idea of transition and
its relationship with the memory of the past,
the changing of values, the passing of
tradition and the aspirations of a
different reality. I am keen to explore this
idea through the social/private spaces within
an evolving urban environment like Hanoi.

This series is presented like a visual Haiku.
Intentionally left untitled, the juxtaposition
of images produces their own narratives,
temporal connections, and is open to many
interpretations infused with the personal
experiences of individual viewers. Similar to
the Japanese Haiku, they are observations
in its purest form, distilled into a simple
gesture, a moment of reflection, a point
in a continuum, touching on the beauty of
imperfection, in delicate, quiet, nuanced
moments.

Sabri Idrus
Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Sabri Idrus engages in different disciplines
and mediums as language according to his
artistic needs, who is obsessed with
experimental approaches in combining
painting, graphic design and industrial
materials to achieve a liberated
socio-cultural dogma towards reinventing a
new form of symbol in art. His interest lies
in developing works that tries to unfold his
critical notion towards the social condition
and the parody against institutions that
secures that definition between painting and
crafting painting. His belief in art making,
especially paintings as an inherent social
process that submerged him in technical and
material advancement through experiments.
The production of Disruptive Nature series
attempts to demystify the linear picture
making process of Sabri Idrus. This involved
the artist engaging with a variety of
collaborators and respondents through
relative motivation on semiology. The study
of semiology offers a fundamental basis for
understanding Sabri’s paintings, where he
continues his semiotic-reference in art
making by tracing down patterns of nature,
and he introduces other ‘sign systems’ as
signifiers to his paintings. These objects also
try to give context to the primary layers of
the paintings, thus creating conflicting
elements of signs and symbols over the
surfaces of the traces and marks of nature.

Haslin Ismail
Artwork Description
‘All I Need is Love’ was my vision I had for
my family back in 2011 when I was expecting
my first child. It gave me huge inspiration
and vision thinking of my role as a father,
living happily in a home. These thoughts
were constructed into a symbolic form of
small houses within a paper box. The books
that I altered was from the world of my
imagination that gave me many adventurous
moments and knowledge.
Artist Bio
Haslin Ismail is a serious young
contemporary artist who graduated with a
BA (Hons) in Fine Art from MARA University
of Technology (UiTM) in 2007. The Johor
native, who is 29, worked round the clock,
creating and exhibiting his fantasy in art
pieces in various exhibitions since 2003
and was awarded the Grand Prize for Bakat
Muda Sezaman 2010 and first prize for In
Print: Contemporary British Art from the
Paragorn Press held at the National Art
Gallery in 2006. He had his first solo
exhibition entitled ‘Exorcismus Persona:
Windows into the fantasy worlds of Haslin
Ismail’ at the RA Fine Arts Gallery in 2009
and second solo show entitled
‘Transfiguration’ at the G13 Gallery in June
2013. Haslin presents us with moody, dark
and sometimes violent pieces that
represent a certain vibrancy, and freshness
in the local artistic and cultural domain.
He gives out that serious vibe; making
viewers often ponder the dark nature of his
works or what goes on in this young artist’s
head as he glides his tools over his artworks.

Choy Chun Wei
Artwork Description
Through disparate urban materials, I explore
mixed mediums surface as the surface
(space) to negotiate its material function and
also to develop my own terms for painting that is relevant to contemporary times
fueled by material culture.
Artist Bio
Choy Chun Wei was born in Sungai Petani,
West Malaysia in 1973. He is trained in
graphic design, and graduated with honours
(second upper) under a full scholarship at
Central St. Martin’s College in London in
1998. Since graduating he has been
practicing art and has lectured at various art
colleges and universities in Malaysia. Along
with his wife Yau Bee Ling, Chun Wei has
been involved in providing art workshops
for children with special needs through the
National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur. He has
also participated in various workshops and
conferences in the field of art and design.
In 2003 he received an Honorable Mention
at the Malaysian Phillip Morris Art Awards,
and in 2004 he received the Juror’s Prize
at the Malaysian Young Contemporary Art
Exhibition. In 2005 he was awarded the
Rimbun Dahan Artist-in Residence
placement, where he spent the year
developing a new series of paintings on
cartography and mental maps. In 2007
Chun Wei had his first solo exhibition at
Wei-Ling Gallery in Kuala Lumpur and in
2008, he was awarded the 2007/2008 Asian
Artist Fellowship by the Freeman
Foundation for residency at the Vermont
Studio Center in the United States. At the
end of 2008, two of his unconventional and
challenging mixed media and collage
paintings were collected by National Art
Gallery as part of their permanent collection.
He was the only Malaysian artist to be
accorded a solo exhibition at ART Basel
Hong Kong in 2014 with his Human
Landscape project.
This aerial viewpoint (all-over) encrusted
surface is not just for aesthetic consideration
but reflecting my engagement with urban
materiality and humanity. By the process
of making, I want to reflect and enable for
“materiality” to evoke “meanings” by the
way it is been put together either by
controlled and spontaneous gestural
handlings.
Through this continuous interplay of surface
tension, its inter-woven nature image
construction is made “active” and that by its
cropping, strips of overlapping colour blocks
and sensual layering will hopefully unfolds
many viewpoints of reading (seeing)
collected urban markings in printed
materials reflecting urban dwellers’
obsessive nature with the modern textual
mantras shaped by “advertising industry”
that controls their identities.

façade. Grand projects are dreamt up and
an attempt to realise these visions
undertaken; using whatever comes to hand,
be it a broom or a bucket.

Each project is chosen from a game or
dream from childhood, a search to recapture
a remembered past with the tools, skills and
knowledge of the adult one has become. In
this room, the adult occupant plays a child’s
game (playing with dolls) and takes the
innocent desire of a child for her dolls to
come alive, far too seriously, resulting in
the following elaborate and obsessive
installation.
