Catalysis – Phases of Transition


The ending of postmodernism marks the beginning of contemporary art, also known as ‘the art of today’. Due to the possibility of worldwide communication; newer techniques, approaches and considerations were soon engaged to produce greater range of artworks that involves two-dimensional, three-dimensional visuals and figurative images to reduced forms, pure geometrical patterns or planes, and adopting a wider range of materials where fresh new art ideas had to be built upon or installed. Although the era of contemporary art has lasted till this present day, one can still feel the transitional influence going back to the era of modernism and postmodernism.

With this insight, Catalysis – Phases of Transition presents artists: Agnes Lau Pik Yoke, Alicia Lau Pik Yen, Chok Ming Hoong, Chong Soon Leong, Choo Ai Xin, Choo Yan Xin, Fong Jia Lok, Ho Mei Kei, Lee Mok Yee, Liew Mei Toong, Tan Lu Man, Thong Yoong Onn and Wong Yi Leng. The artists have taken into consideration a wide range of daily situations in their surroundings and engaged a conversation with the viewers through their artistic journey. By capturing a moment of the development in their art practice, Catalysis – Phases of Transition, has been curated to provide an explorative view of how transitions play a major role in building up the next level of artistic talent.
