As part of Chan Hampe Galleries’ commitment to the development of new creative talent in Singapore, Notes in Idolatry presents four emerging artists – Khairullah Rahim (Khai), Izziyana Suhaimi, Abdul Kader, and Leo Liu – who recontextualise popular culture iconography to explore personal identity.

“Notes in Idolatry pays homage to personal idols whether it be childhood action heroes, toys, food, or ex-lovers. It is an exploration of singular obsession which is reminiscent of the relationship between artist and muse,” said Amanda Poh, curator and gallery manager at Chan Hampe Galleries @ Tanjong Pagar.

Notes in Idolatry includes paintings by Khairullah Rahim (Khai) and Leo Liu, wall relief sculpture by Abdul Kader, and hand-embroidered works on paper by Izziyana Suhaimi.
