マレーシア出身、2022年に多摩美術大学の日本画専攻で卒業しました。
古代人がメッセージを伝えたり、当時の事件を記録したりするために残した壁画に用いた岩絵具を、人類と自然との原初的な繋がりのようなものだと考えています。そのため、メンタルヘルスやLGBTQへの差別など、現代社会問題に渦巻く問題を記録するツールとして、岩絵具を使うことができたら面白いのではないかと思いました。
そして、現代彫刻の思想からインスパイアーされ、型にはまらない彫刻素材や芸術形態で実験を行い、具象的‧抽象的な表現を使って社会問題を考察しています。そのため、一枚のキャンバスから展示空間までに物語を広げ、コンセプトやシリーズに応じて、刺繍、陶芸、映像、音声などを使い、観客がより絵の世界観に入りやすいためにインスタレーションを制作しています。
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 paintings and believes they are like a primal link between humanity and nature as the ancient people used mineral pigments to paint 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.
