Press Release
ARTE GLOBALE is excited to showcase 'Vessels of Colour', featuring art by Wei Tan. Tan's paintings operate as a form of 'emotional purging', where the chairs themselves function as a grounding subject. Tan describes, when she 'stumbled upon the subject of chairs, I simply transferred the same urge to express into a more symbolic, real-life figure. It created a sense of predictability that was needed in my working process.'
Using the chair as a subject, Tan employs colour to deconstruct their realism and allow emotion to speak through them.
