Synopsis

Ota Fine Arts Singapore presents a solo exhibition by Hilmi Johandi. "Destination Image" features a showcase of new paintings depicting isolated motifs from archival images of Singapore, probing ideas of pleasure, escape, and representation. Spatial planes are partitioned, flattened, or ruptured, producing images that appear staged and uncanny. Throughout his practice, Hilmi examines the mediation of experience through image-making, and how nostalgia and constructed memory function within rapidly modernizing societies.
