About the Residency
Ming Hao is currently extending figurative painting to human relationships with nature. Inspired by colours, textures, insects, and other elements of his surroundings at Rimbun Dahan, he continues to explore the possibilities of the acrylic paint-skin collage. He’s experimenting with form and outcome by overlapping, cutting, weaving, compressing, scrapping, collaging. By constructing and deconstructing, there will be lots of unpredictable results in these works. Some of the works will be exhibited in a coming group exhibition this year. Others are planned to be showcased in a 2024 exhibition, the second solo of his artistic career.
