Statement

This abstract painting by Singapore-born artist Desmond Mah, utilises a vast array of artistic materials, including flora, moving mechanical components and a culinary palette, Desmond draws upon ideas of home and the videogame Minecraft, in which ‘M’ battles marauding monsters. With familiar cultural scents and animated breathing, the monster seeks a momentary connection the audience—to counter discrimination and unprovoked violence targeted against global Asian diaspora.
