Sketch Submission for SMU Design Love 2009

A poster sketched by me during one of the lesson last week.

I wanted to sketch something simple yet it deliver the truth about Art. This poster will be submitted to the SMU Design Love 2009 Exco for further approval. So if you see this in your email, you know who did it. Haha..

Showcase 5: Walk-the-Arrow

The last piece to showcase before i proceed with my mini project!



Another stencil i did to depict the real world where people are constantly led by others. And of course in this sense, by an arrow instead of a Dog!

Showcase 4: Kiddo Series

The kiddo featured here are looking up for something.. or someone whom they looked upon.

Balloons of colourful arrow filled the ceiling above their heads; indicating the the colourful life ahead of them in the near future. Are they looking for their own direction? Or are they waiting for someone to give them the instruction? Like everyone who grew up, the real world is filled uncertainty that make us all look like little kids; constantly looking up to something.. or someone.

Showcase 3: Cry Baby

When we were younger, we are often required to follow the instruction given by the adults. Failing to do so would often follow by either getting scolded or beaten with belt or canes. In my real world, i often see arrow as an instruction. And in this stencil outside the settlers' cafe, i hope to portray the consequence of not abiding to instruction. The broken arrow here indicate the failure to follow the instruction. Hence, little boy kneel outside the cafe crying silently; trying to reach out to everyone who walked pass him. But nobody care...

Showcase 2: Hear, See & Speak

At the back of SMU Gallery stood three portraits of my wife. They were the best of the whole showcase because it featured the person i love most. At the same time, the concept derive at this artwork is also the most meaningful to me.

  

In the real work, people are often bombarded by "noises" that depict their action. And the best way to go around avoiding these "noises" are to Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Speak No Evil. Imagine having the ability to do these, everyone will lead a cheerful life. Hence, making the world a much happier environment for all human being.

Showcase 1: Watch It

In the Real World, everyone from all over the world are always looking at the media to provide instruction and direction. For example, the stock market is a clear indication of how people gauge their wealth. From rich to poor, everyone will respond to the drop or rise of the stock market.


A closer look at the work!

SMU Art Fest Official Opening

The SMU Art Fest 2009 was officially opened yesterday with Guest-of-Honour Mr Loh, owner of Hotel 1929 & New Majestic Hotel, and Mr Howard Hunter, SMU Preseident.


Me presenting my contribution to Mr Loh & Mr Howard Hunter!

I was quite nervous and tired after setting up the installation for the past 1 weeks. In fact, i didn't managed to put up everything until 1 hour before the event opening! Anyway, i would like to thanks Daniel and Soon Foo for helping me out during this installation. Without them, i don't think i can finish everything.

I will be showcasing all the pictures of the actual art work i've contributed within this week, so stay around for more updates!

1 Day to go!

Yesterday was a nightmare for me. But all thanks to daniel who helped me putting all the stencil up! Thanks Dan!

Anyway, a lot of focus has been put into the wall outside the SMU Gallery. Because this design comprises of 14 stencils, a lot of work has gone into putting up the stencils and waiting for the spray to dry up.

Nevertheless, the background for the kiddos are all up. So today will be focusing on the details and also putting up the "Walk-the-Arrows". Of course, there is this time for photography!

Confirmed Location

And so it's confirmed! Look out for this spaces!
