Artist Statement:

Dylan Chan is a Singapore-based artist and curator who graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts with Bachelors in Fine Arts (Hons). He was awarded the Winston Oh (Practice) Award 2018 & 2022, and nominated for the prestigious Takifuji Art Award 2021, Sovereign Art Prize 2024.

Chan’s practice sits on the cusp between image making and object making, and reexamines the ways in which the body positions itself within the domestic and its phenomenological response towards objects. His work focuses on the abstract instances from everyday life and draws from personal memories and reminiscences centred around intimacy. In trying to articulate the subtle nuances of the personal, Chan is interested in the ways the body navigates the boundaries of and relationships between the private spaces and the ground upon which it stands. In exploring these themes, Chan brings into focus the politics of our own agency and capacity for self-reflection, which surrounds the ways in which we dwell in spaces and what we live with.
