About The Artwork
‘Precariously Mundane I & II’ are constructed imaginary spaces, with the use of little signs to draw viewers back to the reality, the society they are living in. The embodiments of my ‘self’ here is the embodiment of city-dwellers. The first piece shows an outer appearance. There are a big crowd but with sense of quietness and isolation. While in the second piece, there are fewer figures, but with communication.
Lots of little figures show subtle relationship among them. They convey sense of loneliness, alienation, fear, reserved, eagerness and excitement. There is also eagerness to evoke resonance with their viewers.
The architectural setup resembles some PC games setup. What I am trying to present is a virtual world, an encapsulated space like the society we are living in. The use of two-point perspective with some illogical setup is illusive.
I choose to dress myself with more modern clothing in futuristic look. This is my interpretation of city-dwellers. The clothing, colours and architecture setup in this series of works play both contrasts and harmonious in their way to interfere one’s visual perception.
The exit sign in ‘Precariously Mundane I’ resonate with the photography cutout that move beyond the drawing area. They question the real exit. Additionally, the showing of blank area also gives another insight to painting about what is real and what is not.
Our consciousness is based on our experience and memories, just like what I have portrayed in my artworks are my personal experience to the society. I am trying to show the grey area of this understanding, to present a neither logical nor illogical, neither dream nor real world we are living in.

A practising artist in Singapore since 2003. Our consciousness will be changing according to the society we are living in, our sense of reality or illusion is an amalgamation of our memories and experience. So our reactions to people in society are very much depends on consciousness. The material world seems so real to us, but the way we live in it, the way we communicate with people is so precarious and illusive. I am interested in the urban condition and what lies beneath the facade of a person. My aim is to present the grey area of the above understanding in this fast changing society. Some of us judge people purely by appearance, or some will judge even without seeing them. So does the body really matter? Perhaps we care too much about this material body, and any happiness or sorrow it brings us is only illusion. Plato insists that artists are just creating appearances, not the actual real things. When I transform my consciousness onto the paper, they become representations of my experience. And like what Picasso said, Art is a lie, but it is a lie that makes us realize the truth. May we see below the surface of these fact of uncertainty to have a deeper understanding of human condition.
