Artist Statement for Wyn-lyn Tan
|
|
|
"The lack of words and the inability to verbalize emotions is a constant personal frustration. My paintings are about this personal fight between in-articulation, yet wanting to be heard.
It is this dynamic balance between suppression and expression, and all the other opposites that come with it - nice and nasty, quietness and madness, recesses of darkness and layers of light, that I wish to convey in my works.
I am searching for an equilibrium between muted softness and intense surfaces that reveal spontaneous spattering, and mark-making of all sorts. It's symbolic of an internal world that's often a contradiction of emotions and thoughts - happiness and sadness, calm serenity and crazy madness, hope and despair, anger and love.
Somewhat like a union of opposites struggling to find some sort of lyrical madness.
While my paintings are not deliberately about landscapes, they subconsciously hover between nature and abstraction. I am also attracted to rich colours, and these are contrasted with muted hues and an affinity for black that recalls the look of Chinese ink."
Full-time Singaporean artist Wyn-Lyn Tan has held several exhibitions since 2000. Trained as a painter, her works can be found in private and corporate collections in Singapore and abroad.
She received a Highly Commended Work Award in Abstract Medium in the 22nd UOB Painting of the Year competition (Singapore) in 2003, and was also a selected artist for New Finds 2004, an annual showcase of new talents by the Art Galleries Association in Singapore. She is currently a resident artist at Instinc gallery and studio .
