ART SG 2026

Our presentation includes Zico Albaiquni (Indonesia) whose vibrant works continue his investigation into the complexity of existing representations of Indonesia, its colonial past, the Eurocentrism of the art history canon, and his own commodified role as a painter; husband-and-wife duo Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan (Philippines) renown for creating highly detailed installations and sculptures that spark conversations around ideas of identity, migration, journey and displacement; Cheong See Min (Malaysia), a textile artist presenting new works centred on pineapple fibre, examining and foregrounding the history of pineapple plantations and the everyday lives of coolies within the industry, weaving a delicate portrait of lost memories; internationally acclaimed Tada Hengsapkul (Thailand) whose works address the polarities between control and dissent anchored by both collective and personal histories, and will be displaying new works utilising wax — further expanding his impressive material repertoire; emotive works by Indonesian artist Jompet Kuswidananto that transform remnants from the infamous Saketi-Bayah railway tracks, constructed during World War II by thousands of forced labourers, into vessels of remembrance and modes to recollect the unarchived and erased; Alvin Ong (Singapore) whose new paintings playfully capture quotidian moments of our contemporary world in surreal bodily compositions, combining diverse visual vocabularies; historically significant works on paper by visionary Myanmar artist Po Po, created in the 90s and the first time these works will be presented outside his studio; Pinaree Sanpitak (Thailand), one of Asia’s most important contemporary artists, showcasing key historic works on the body, womanhood and nourishment from her celebrated career; one of Southeast Asia’s leading photographic artists Manit Sriwanichpoom (Thailand) best known for his ongoing Pink Man series, which operates as an ironic and sometimes pathos-injected critique of consumer culture in Thailand and wider Asia, which he builds on in this presentation.
