		<description>Bio


Guo-Liang Tan (b. Singapore) is an artist whose practice centers on painting, from which works in other media and modes of presentation occasionally emerge. Surfaces, painterly or otherwise, serve as sites for staging gestures of affect and a haunting dialogue with the ghosts of abstraction. His process is marked by gaps and overlaps, fragmentation and the gathering of traces. Tan is particularly interested in how these elements expand and reorient our perception of the body, time and attention.
Tan completed his BA in Fine Art &#38;amp; Critical Studies at Goldsmiths College, London, his MFA at Glasgow School of Art and was a guest student at The Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He was previously an artist-in-residence at NTU Centre of Contemporary Art in Singapore, Villa Lena Foundation in Florence, and International Studio &#38;amp; Curatorial Program in New York.His work has been exhibited regionally and internationally. Past exhibitions include ‘Ghost Screens’ (2017) and ‘Soft Turnings’ (2021) at Ota Fine Arts, Singapore, 'Light to Night Festival’ (2021), National Gallery Singapore, ‘Object of Desire’ (2021) at Gerðarsafn Kópavogur Art Museum, Iceland, ‘Re-surfacing’ (2023) at STORAGE, Bangkok, ‘Another Folding Scene’ (2024) at Sifang Satellite Space, Shanghai, ‘The Secrets of Color: from Impressionism to Contemporary Art’ (2024), Pola Museum of Art, Hakone, Kanagawa, 'Singapore Biennale 2025: Pure Intentions', Singapore Art Museum and 'An Exhibition with No Title' (2026), MO Space, Manila. Tan belongs to a generation of artists whose creative output extends beyond his own studio practice. Alongside his own work, he also collaborates with other artists on curatorial and publication projects, including ‘Aversions’ and ‘Found &#38;amp; Lost’ (2009) for Osage Gallery, ‘We Who Saw Signs’ (2011) for Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, ‘Strange Forms of Life’ (2020) for STPI Gallery and ‘State Of Motion 2020: Rushes Of Time’ for Asian Film Archive.

His works are in the collections of M+ Museum of Contemporary Art, Hong Kong, Singapore Art Museum, Tanoto Art Foundation, Singapore, Christian Dior Couture, Singapore/France, La Caisse Collection, Quebec/Singapore amongst others.

Two Who Remember the Sea grows from the artists' fascination with the spaces and rituals of the cinematic. Set against the lush greenery of Wessex estate, suspended silver fabric moves in the landscape like spectral figures. Choreographed with movements powered by the sun and wind, the work stages a scene that is open and dream-like. The abstract imagery on the fabric evokes a shadowy presence coming in and out of view with the opening and closing motion. This acts as a kind of screen and porous frame, which light and air can enter and pass through.

The kinetic installation invites a meditation on frames of all kinds, from the cinematic to the memorial, reflecting the way life and death, presence and absence continually animate each other. The cloth and its shifting forms are in part a remembrance of gentle, wandering ghosts shrouded in white and longing for human closeness. These subtle allusions to victims of violence, connecting folklore to political reality, are found in the mid-century illustrations of Thai artist and writer Hem Vejakorn. Rather than inhabiting darkness, the haunted screens in Two Who Remember the Sea are stirred by daylight, their energy drawn from the same source that sustains the natural life around them.

A Folding Scene expands Guo-Liang Tan’s ongoing explorations into the idea of paintings as objects existing in space. These painterly objects are made by folding and unfolding fabric before layering paint over its surface. While developing this site-specific work, Tan began to question whether the process of painting is similar to how events unfold scene by scene in a dramatic story. Suspended across the Esplanade Concourse, A Folding Scene comprises six angular forms of varying sizes and shapes which are softened by the use of aeronautical fabric: a material favoured by the artist for its lightness, translucency and ability to glide paint. Awash with glowing colours, including violet, orange, pink and varying shades of blue and green, the coloured surfaces are accentuated by textures and fold lines, which are traces of Tan's process as paint pools into the creases and stains the fabric. Carefully composed across the undulating stepped architecture of the space, these draped painterly surfaces shift between image and object, inviting a visual and bodily perception of the Esplanade Concourse as a performance space and an unravelling scene.

2021Acrylic on aeronautical fabric, wood and wireDimensions variableNational Gallery Singapore


Arrive, Arrive is a series of ‘painterly objects’ that take the form of coloured wing-like structures suspended at the National Gallery Singapore’s Padang atrium. Painted on translucent aeronautical fabric and stretched over wooden frames, the work takes the experience of viewing paintings out of the gallery and into a public space. Playing with the conventional language of painting - its surface, support and two-dimensional plane, viewers are invited to visually engage with the artwork from various vantage points and think about ‘what makes a painting?’ from a different perspective.

Central to the experience of the work is the feeling of suspension. The aerodynamic shape of these painterly objects suggest a sense of flight and the sensation of gliding through air. They are painted with overlapping shades of atmospheric colours, which catch the natural skylight filtered from the atrium’s glass ceiling. Hues and tones shift as we move around the atrium, drawing attention to our embodied experience of colour. The title alludes to a sense of anticipation and emergence, suggesting an unexpected appearance of these objects from elsewhere. Striking a contemplative and meditative tone, the work was commissioned by the gallery for its Light To Night Festival 2021: ‘_____-in-Progress’.
