Ruben Pang (b. 1990, Singapore) is a Singaporean contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, and music. Best known for his luminous, psychologically charged paintings on aluminum, Pang works intuitively through processes of layering, scraping, erasing, and reworking paint. Moving fluidly between abstraction and figuration, his practice explores automatism, transformation, memory, and the emotional and psychological dimensions of the human condition. Pang graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts in 2010 and has exhibited internationally.
“Unseeing is based loosely on the New Testament miracle of Jesus curing the blind. As this was the first painting of the residency, it was symbolic for me to begin by unseeing, and getting rid of my own antecedents.” Ruben Pang
