Three local emerging artists to see

Sean Lee

Lee will stage Shauna, a photo series that saw him transform into a woman and embed himself in the transgender community of Siem Reap, as part of Singapore Arts Club, a public art project put together by Arnoldii Arts Club.

Shauna is at Gillman Barracks from Jan 22-Feb 22.

PG Lee

An alumnus of the MA Fine Arts programme at LASALLE, Lee debuted his piece, ‘Sisyphus’, at an exhibition last June. It’s a sphere that now weighs around 400 kilograms, and is made of sand and melted paraffin wax. In his upcoming performance as part of SCOUT, he’ll be adding even more weight and gravity to the work.

SCOUT is at Gillman Barracks from Jan 20-24.

Ang Sookoon

Delving deeper into her exploration of the physical and metaphysical worlds, Ang uses fabric to conjure an illusion of a mountain range. This exhibition is displayed with sculptures, videos, and drawings to create an environment that is at once familiar yet unreal.

Everest is at Objectifs Chapel Gallery from Jan 20-Feb 21.
