Compelling, dark and sexy. Those are the words that can best describe the artworks of Malaysian-born graphic artist, Foon. Through a series of bunny-eared and red-nosed human characters, Foon explores the many facets of human characteristic. He presents the humanity of his subject matters by accentuating their fragility and vulnerability. His works are also a reminder how human tend to dramatize or glorify their own feelings and seeks refuge in their own intimate realm. The dark background of his artworks is simply gripping and intense in comparison with the colorful characters he depicts. It is almost like a representation of a very familiar scene in human life when one simply like to have an intimate affair with oneself while being oblivious to those around us.
Foon’s works have been catching a lot of attention across Asia and also UK where his works have been made into prints. In collaboration with Artoholic gallery in Singapore, Foon’s work is now will be made into a series of exclusive limited edition prints on high quality photo paper and exhibited in the gallery.
