Artist Statement

Dororthy Parker once exclaimed ' Art is a form of cartharsis'.
It is a passionate expression within one's innermost being; often at times it may be born of great suffering as well as great joy. I always try to fulfill art's principles by being more human; truly embracing my fears, insecurities, pains, and joys, ever reaching closer to that conflict, climax, and cartharsis. I am happiest when creating art piece that really bring out my core. Works that really grasp all that I am feeling and thinking, the anger and the suffocating emotion hiding from inside of me. And it is at moments like these when I catch a glimmer of what it is like to create a perfect art piece.

Negro Me

This is a self-portrait of me with the world’s thickest lip. To make it even funnier, I combined a super weird hairdo in replacement of my own hair. This whole drawing was done with charcoal.

Mural of Japanese Restaurant

This is my first mural painting even before the school assignment for Fuchun Primary school. My beloved lecturer - Rashid, introduced this job. It was a commissioned project requested by the boss of Hoshi Japanese restaurant. Although the pay was cut from $1500 to $1200 after me and my partner Kian an did our outline, which is pretty unfair, we both enjoy ourselves. It took us 3 full nights to complete it. Treat this as an experience and we believe there are more jobs to come.

Mural for Fuchun Primary School

The chosen theme for this mural was National Education. Core subjects such as mathematics and science have been incorporated into the design with a contemporary feel. As important as making subjects interesting and not to limit creativity, i included important value of students such as unity, discipline and care too. The style of this mural was based on reference artist - Keith Haring. His eagerness to experience with his artworks inspires me. Using combination of unconventional and abstract symbol, this mural design can have alot of different meaning intercept by different individual. Primary colours have been deliberately chosen as just like education is the core essence of a student.

Tanned Seahorse~

This is a tedious assignment similar to the sphere and the printmaking. It requires a lot of time and focus. Using different pen thickness, it can achieve many depths and volume. Sensitivity if use wisely in this assignment can create marvelous outcome

Muscularhino

Everyone claims that my rhino look muscular and fit. It was my first attempt in ceramic, definitely quite proud of myself. Making this 3D rhino needs a lot of molding, twisting and even slamming of the clay to prevent air bubbles that will lead to crack upon firing.

Tormenting Sphere

The whole process of making this 20cm sphere took me about 4 weeks to complete. The making of the 3D cubes itself already took up 80% of the time. It was a nightmare for me although I am quite satisfied with outcome of the sphere. Hollow but yet sophisticated.

The Bananarama!

This was my first group project! Wire-banana. Creating the bone structure of the banana was the first thing we did. Followed by coiling the thinner wire around the bone structure to create volume. Lastly, the skin of the banana was attached separately and the end product looks fantastic!!!! We even sold the wire banana for 50 dollars to a lecturer.

Childhood Memories

This printmaking assignment is a tough and tedious one. Not only you need to carve the right design on the right spot and ink with the right colour. The strength use to print the image on the paper must be of moderation too. This work requires to be done layer-by-layer, colour-by-colour. It was still a fun assignment even though it was a messy one.

Perspective Headache

Single- or one-point perspective is a simplest method of making objects look three-dimensional. Two-point perspective is slightly more complex, as both the front and back edges, and side edges, of an object must be diminished towards vanishing points. Three-point perspective is the one giving me the headache during the assignment, took me one whole day before i figured how to do it. It is usually used for buildings seen from above or from the bottom, which normally known as the “bird view”, and “ant view”.

Teddy Teddy and Family

Contour lines create volume and mass when applied in drawing. With all this contour lines, a simple 2D flat drawing can easily become 3 dimensional. Contour Drawing has boldness, fragility, simplicity and spirit, depending on it's purpose and outcome.

Crumpled Paper

This piece of artwork seems easy to do at the first glance, but it requires a lot of focus on the different toner value of the shading of the crumbled paper. Different shadings create different movements and depths on the drawing. It took me 2 days to complete this drawing.

Negative Space

Using negative spaces to show an object or scenery in a drawing was a new technique I learnt last year. Instead of shading the branches and leaves of this particular tree, I shaded the white spaces between them. Instantly, the shape of the tree became more prominent.

It's all about Charcoal

Charcoal makes you dirty and messy.
Charcoal can create a masterpiece too! This charcoal drawing not only require accurate proportion measurement, the blending of shading must be of proper techniques too.
