Fortune Cookie Projects presents an exhibition of new work by Singaporean artist Ian Woo. His seemingly free-form improvisations belie a highly disciplined architectonic. Using pattern and colour he creates a series of imaginary worlds, landscapes and allegories that allow the viewer to make his own choices and his own discoveries.
A lecturer for Postgraduate Studies at Lasalle College of the Arts, Woo has exhibited extensively throughout Asia. His work can be found in corporate, private and institutional collections around the world.
Artist’s Statement
“The title ‘Flux Technicolour’ comes from a reference to the idea of a continuous presence of fluctuating changes in both colour and forms that affects the gravity of the paintings. I think about temperature and quality of light quite a lot when applying colours to a painting. I also have this fascination that the painting is an imaginary light box, where structure, substance, colour co-relate to become matter. I like to pretend that the painting is like a film still from some imaginary cinematic experience.”
