Our Core Artists

Chiew Sien Kuan
Chiew’s drawings and paintings are personal commentaries on the issues of modernity and rapid urbanisation that affect people’s sense of being, creating altered states of mind. His work is preoccupied with issues of environmentalism, renewal, loss of urban spaces, economic progress and technological development that have inevitably influenced and changed people’s sense of reality. Chiew’s paintings reflection of subconscious minds that are in constant flux, reacting to these changes around us. With broad confident strokes, Chiew draws and paints exuberantly on paper, demonstrating a unique sense of freedom and free-spiritedness in his style of painting. His sculptures are characterised by the use of found objects sourced over a period of time sometimes10 – 15 years. By formalising the accidental, he probes into the subconscious mind enticing the viewer to re-think and re-examine the subject matter in the work. The seemingly random assemblage of materials may not seem finished, it is constantly a work in progress.

Dr Kay Kok
Kay’s works are, most of the time, geometric shapes, symbolism, and symbolic colours are used as my artistic vocabulary to create my artworks that focus on history and culture of Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Pauline Phoon
Pauline Phoon is drawn to the simplicity of lines with minimal colours, a contrast to our complex world. Besides ink, she also uses pencil and acrylic while experimenting with other mediums. Largely monochromatic, these sketches evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding Singaporeans of how far the nation has come.
