Wong Shih Yaw’s autobiographical series offer a fresh visual metaphor about the world around us. His work is dominated by a fantastical machine, which assumes the character of an animal, a mechanical device and a vehicle of transportation within which the artist sits, or is sheathed or becomes a part of. Wong Shih Yaw graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1989 with a Diploma in Fine Art and is one of the key founding members of The Artists Village, a pioneering contemporary art group that advocated rethinking and regeneration of art in Singapore. The exhibition showcases over 50 works and includes large-scale, highly-coloured compositions as well as drawings. He has held more than 10 solo exhibitions since 1996. His latest exhibition entitled Eleven Stories was held at Art Projects Gallery, Hong Kong in 2017.
