You must imagine Sisyphus happy
by Fost Gallery
Location: Fost Gallery
Artist(s): Ashley YEO
Date: 6 Jun - 28 Jun 2015

FOST Gallery is proud to present You must imagine Sisyphus happy by Ashley Yeo.

The exhibition explores the space between longing and post-grieving. Referring to our anthropocentric values that rely more on perception than reality, Yeo seeks to illustrate elegiac objectives that contribute to an artistic culture. Her drawings illuminate and delight yet at the same time, portrays the decaying state of existing social relations. They also reveal her reality as an artist: making works as a palliative for society’s modern ills, while holding a very strong and sad relationship with humanity. As we progress, we must continue to believe that Sisyphus is happy. This exhibition is part of the FOURSIGHT series, showcasing four young Singaporean artists: Izziyana Suhaimi, Ashley Yeo, Luke Heng and Khairullah Rahim. The significance of Singapore’s 50th year of independence formed the impetus of this series. But while we commemorate the events of the last five decades, it is also important to look forward. FOURSIGHT is an attempt to project and chart the future through these young artists, who, each in their own right, are artists of incredible talent, and whom we hope will play a part in Singapore’s art history.
