Press Release

Yavuz Gallery Singapore is proud to present Nicholas Ong in his debut solo exhibition, Absurd Theatrics. The exhibition opens in conjunction with Singapore Art Week 2021 and inaugurates the artist’s representation with the gallery.

Absurd Theatrics is the present culmination of Ong’s investigations into the varied sensations and sensory receptions in the relationship between the two-dimensional surfaces and three-dimensional spaces. Driven by an intuitive process, Ong’s practice is grounded in the inspection of personal sensibilities; manifesting in perceptual reasoning and contextual understanding though formal experimentations of paint and light.

Consisting of new mixed-media works, the exhibition continues the artist’s explorations of physical and psychological experiences, challenging the structure of precepts and stimulus as a medium for experience and dimensionality.
