- ART FAIR - MEET YOUR ARTISTS
Born in Malaysia, I graduated from Tama Art University in 2022 with a major in Japan painting.
I believe that the rock pigments used in the murals left by the ancients to convey messages and record the events of the time are like a primordial connection between humanity and nature. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to use mineral pigments as a tool to document the issues that swirl around contemporary social issues, such as mental health and discrimination against LGBTQ people.
Inspired by contemporary sculpture ideas, he experiments with unconventional sculptural materials and art forms, and uses figurative and abstract expressions to examine social issues. For this reason, the story expands from a single canvas to the exhibition space, and depending on the concept and series, we use embroidery, ceramics, video, audio, etc., to create installations that make it easier for the audience to enter the world of the painting.
Nelson Hor Ee Herng (born 1998, Penang) is a Malaysian Chinese artist currently practising in Tokyo. Hor graduated with a BA in fine arts from Tama Art University in 2022.
Hor mainly uses mineral pigments in his pain tings and believes they are like a primal link between humanity and nature as the ancient people used mineral pigments to pain t murals to convey messages and record incidents of the time. Therefore, Hor sees them
as a unique tool to document issues related to our modern society, such as mental illness and discrimination against LGBTQ people.
Hor also takes inspiration from the idea of contemporary sculpture to experiment with unconventional sculptural materials and art forms and to use figurative and abstract metaphors to examine social issues. Therefore, in recent exhibitions, Hor extended his
story from a single canvas to an entire exhibition space, and depending on the concept and series, he uses embroidery, ceramics, video and sound to create installations that allow the audience to immerse themselves more deeply into the subject that he wants to convey.
