Photography, sculptural print and performance all come together at Singaporean artist Siew Guang Hong’s first solo presentation at Richard Koh Fine Art. Titled The Body Improper, the exhibition features 19 works that draw from biological systems, ecological structures, and performative gestures, exploring the body as more than just anatomy. It’s a canvas and a landscape that’s meant to be rearranged, manipulated and reconstructed into something familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. The collection of work plays with optical illusions, challenging the way we normally view things. Beyond still pictures are also surreal live-action creations, including the video series Medusan Pink, which features Siew in a chroma key suit, blending in public spaces.
Be sure to join on Saturday evenings for artist walkthroughs with Siew for a more in-depth exploration of the presentation, where you’ll get to hear more about the ideas behind each artwork.
