Making
2016 l Restoration Series l Trio Exhibition
SGFA, Kuala Lumpur
Inspired by his work in art education — a field that Seah says is shifting away from the classical in favour of throwing art students into the conceptual deep end and leaving them to flail towards newer, bolder shores — Seah takes traditional forms and rewires them for the nascent Malaysian art scene.
In that vein, his contribution to the exhibition consists of a row of smashed-up anatomy studies in plaster running from the main gallery space to an earthen ramp outside the building. The installation is accompanied by a triptych of oil-on-aluminium paintings that blend classical with abstract: the most literal of these, Belvedere Torso, depicts a classically muscular chest bisected by gleaming geometric spears of gold leaf.
Other exhibiting artists:Anniketyni Madian / Lileng Wong
