Screen Dream

ONLINE AT: ARTSY UNTIL JANUARY 5, 2019

Chan + Hori Contemporary presents its first online exclusive, Screen Dream by Esmond Loh. 27 new paintings hosted exclusively through Artsy, present a new body of work highlighting Esmond’s shift from a representational mode of painting to an abstract one. These paintings convey a sense of depth and space and reflect the collapsing of time – with multiple timeframes captured in a two-dimensional plane. They draw forth associations to 20th-century Surrealist artists such as Yves Tanguy, who depict dreamlike landscapes with amorphous forms. Esmond won the Highly Commended Award in the Established Artist Category for the UOB Painting of the Year Award 2018 and was the overall UOB Painting of the Year Award Winner in 2012.
