"Singapore Sensation," 2016
 Artist residency and solo exhibition at Instinc, Singapore. 

Visual sensation runs through a painting like rhythm runs through a piece of music. The senses are often illogical and irrational; it is what determines instinct at a particular moment. The painter would then attempt to make a kind of “original unity of the senses” appears visually. (G Deleuze)
Through the process of painting, these works are conceived as investigations into the idea of excess, sensation, and vitality as potential in the emergence of rhythm in a painted image – how the seemingly contradicting qualities, such as diverse cultural motifs, colour, and gestures are weaving together, forming complex interactions, moving toward unconventional rhythm, departing from tradition. The intention is to harvest the energy pulsating from the richness of Singapore’s multicultural tapestry and give a work of art the intensity that is open-ended.
