Charting inspiration from feelings of contemplation and isolation, this series of paintings by Singaporean artist, Casey Tan takes on the different lived experiences of processing the world as a modern Singaporean. Channeling his personal fascination between familiar and imagined scenarios, Tan's new body of work spotlights day-to-day routines and the unknowing quiet commotion that occurs within our inner worlds. Through painting as medium, there is an interplay of perspective and characters who set the tone for representing the stirring emotions we are bound to feel in this overwhelmingly interconnected world. Tan approaches alternative interpretations of normalcy by painting familiar moments such as having the characters in mid-conversation or having a meal. The many different characters represented in his paintings are set against dramatic and dreamy backgroups used as a bridge to invite viewers to find solace in the seemingly mundance.
