My art focuses on multiple perspectives in a fragmented manner to challenge the viewer’s eyes on perceiving space. My past works however, dealt mainly on intricate depiction of buildings using watercolor as my medium. I incorporate the idea of multiple dimensions of space to suggest 4^th dimensional reality – by revealing a side of perspective that the eye cannot see. On executing this approach, exploration has been made on cubism.

 

Personally, cubism is not only aesthetically pleasing but it has always intrigues and challenges me to depict multiple perspectives of a subject mainly on contemporary buildings. My interest in modern buildings conveys industrialization and the looming large of modern buildings in the contemporary world.

 

On my later works, fractals and chaos theory became one of my prime concerns on executing my work. My exploration on fractals appear on buildings are explored by depicting space in different magnifications simultaneously in a fragmented manner. My preference of medium would be mixed media of acrylic and newspaper collage, and the technique I am approaching would be cutting out canvas to achieve the idea of fragmentation.

 

Buildings, architecture and spaces in the metropolitan environment are my prime subject matters based on my experience on living in the city since the very beginning of my formation years. Not only that it has left a great impact on me, but I have reached to an understanding in my practice that the every day lives of the people - the collective identity, culture and the society which is considered as a structure of change, affect the city in its entirety and vice versa. The city's evolution is not independent from human factors. The socio-physical interrelationships, and the 'organized chaos' of the city of singapore would be the focus of my concept of my last year of my Bachelors degree in Fine Arts. Architects, as I am constantly stressing on the idea of their 'utopian ideals', have very important roles on designing a city which is an on-going dispute by philosophers and theorists of whether their designs are meeting the needs of the people. 'There is no such thing as perfect blueprints', which is my later work, through the implementation of cartography and deconstructionism - denotes that the idea of 'form follows function' is disputable and my interpretation of what the architects design, not only in the context of the city, alienates the needs of the people and through 'good' designs social issues are impossible to be eliminated. Heterotopia is another intriguing idea by a French philospher Michel Foucault, that will be a base of my research on space.
