Jogoh rarely refers to himself in the third person, but when he does it’s usually in an underdeveloped artist statement. Jogoh uses photographs, prints, drawings, and bookbinding techniques to consider storytelling and the role it plays in how we relate to one another. The process of sifting through what often feels like dead hours of life to find flickering moments of significance allows him to dispute the idea of meaningless mundanity.

Drawing inspiration from musical composition, Jun Yu transposes images and objects across different media to create visual motifs. These translations softly explore the nuance between aesthetics and emotion.

Justin is actually a linguist but the pandemic robbed him of doing his MA for free so here he is instead. He is greatly interested in deconstructing Singapore’s strange idea of art as existing in opposition to maths and science rather than in conjunction with them. He vexes at the elitist, exclusionary double-standards that penetrate the national identity on a linguistic, narrative and professional level. He sees art as language and believes that in language (and thus, art) the most important thing is not meaning, but purpose.

A lone plastic chair stands proudly in the back alley, bedsheets dance as they dry on bamboo poles, mops lean wearily against an old crumbly wall: these scenes are quiet and unassuming. They aren’t incredibly outstanding, yet hold a quiet sense of presence in their banality. Sometimes, Ting Yan creates works that are more put-together like that. Other times, she illustrates moments and thoughts that stand out to her in a haphazard manner that somehow makes sense to her, and hopefully to others too.

Through her years of dabbling in poetry, drawing, printmaking, screenwriting, film, and photography, Tricia has channelled those experiences into the creation of paintings that attempt to portray the often overlooked intimate nature of functional domestic spaces, where we subconsciously process complex, introspective emotions while performing daily rituals.

Ryan Goh is an interdisciplinary artist who works primarily with video and installation. Bantering with ideas of representation, Ryan’s work skeptically indulges iterations of a perennial longing. Through looking reflexively at art, imagery, and the creative process, his work attempts to reconcile hope, futility, striving, and acceptance within a redemptive gesture. Ryan spends too much time trying to figure out what he spends too much time on.
