Ho Chung Kwang
35W x 45H cm
Acrylic Paint on Wood
The concept of this stool was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood art movement which sought to create works greatly influenced by nature, using brilliance of colours to escape from the darkness and the ugliness of contemporary society. With a base of bold black and white, and bright colours splashed on two facets of the stool, the artist aimed to create a design which would stand out in a typical office setting. The artist painted the stool in an intuitive manner, and he hopes the artwork will evoke a sense of freedom or “lepak”, the Singlish word for relaxed enjoyment.
