DO-HO SUH (Korea)
1 - 23 Dec 2009
Best known for his intricate sculptures that defy conventional notions of scale and site-specificity, Suh’s work draws attention to the ways viewers occupy and inhabit public space. His sculptures continually question the identity of the individual in today’s increasingly transnational, global society.
TRENTON DOYLE HANCOCK (USA)
28 Sep - 23 Oct 2009
Trenton Doyle Hancock is known for sprawling installations that spill over gallery walls and floor in a three-dimensional torrent of handwritten words and cartoonish imagery. His residency at STPI will take place from 28 September to 24 October ’09.
THUKRAL & TAGRA (India)
8 Jun - 3 Jul 2009
New Delhi-based artists Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra are recognised for their fresh and innovative fusion of Indian, Japanese and Western pop culture references. Their vivid and colourful graphic compositions portray a whimsical fascination with consumerism and contemporary lifestyles.
CHANG FEE MING
30 Mar - 9 Apr 2009
Chang ranks among the finest of Asia’s watercolour artists and recognised for his striking portrayals of people, places and archetypal objects that characterize the rich textures of Southeast Asia’s region.
He is acclaimed for his extraordinary grasp of texture and light and for his use of vibrant colours that confer a strong vitality to his paintings. The immediacy of watercolours allows Chang to capture the increasingly vanishing natural and indigenous landscapes of Asia, in the face of rapid development.
TABAIMO
1 - 14 Feb 2009
Talented young Tabaimo creates animated works that are as beautifully crafted and aesthetically appealing as they are disturbing. Not content to simply construct beautiful images, her works offer a complex and unflinching vision of contemporary Japanese society.
Tabaimo mines familiar stereotypes of Japanese life - commuter trains, sushi, suicidal students, and overworked businessmen - to create poignant, surreal, and hilarious animated “statements”.
AGUS SUWAGE
5 - 23 Jan 2009
One of Indonesia’s leading contemporary artists, Agus Suwage’s works are a response to the perversions of our times, everyday living and the complexities of our histories.
He challenges viewpoints, traditional authority, the sacred and the taboo, and gleefully exposes the brutal truths of our surroundings and contrary nature.
