Born in 1965, Boo Sze Yang is a Singaporean who graduated from NAFA in 1991. He received his postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art from University of Reading in 1995, went on to further his art education and obtained his Master of Arts Degree at the University of the Arts London in 2004. He had taught at NAFA for 8 years before helming as the Head of Fine Art Department between 2008-2009. NAFA is proud to organize his 10th solo exhibition featuring over 40 works from his House of God series and The Mall series.

For Boo, shopping malls are sanctuaries for the modern man and woman. The New Cathedral draws metaphorical inference from the cavernous spaces in glitzy shopping malls and religious houses; converging curiously in form and function.
