In Place

The series was started as a series of semester-end school assignment submissions for figure-drawing and figure-painting classes in the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.

In Place is intended to be  a self-portrait, painted in 3 versions for various purposes, at various points in my life. An incident with a classmate causing a sense of  violation of values  and love for art turned into inspiration for the series The Gallery. The Gallery expresses what I value when I experience another artwork and fall in love with it: some works free the mind  and/or end an emotional entrapment; some works spill into the realm of reality and some works, while appearing to be unpleasant, provoke the mind  - they "comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable".

I have created, and afterward abandon a  version of The Gallery with clothed figures. Nudity, according to this exploration has become for me a symbol of timelessness. Going against the grain of post-structuralist temporal  artworks, painting and sculpture had  become that which resists the temporal and seeks the permanent.
