Synopsis

'Another Day in Paradise’ represents a vibrant confluence of Esmond Loh’s artistic evolution, offering a glimpse into his visions of a parallel reality that combines fragments of memory and imagination. Fuelled by curiosity and introspection, Loh continues to conjure figurative scenes charged with tension and ambiguity, with occasional injections of abstract, otherworldly motifs. 

Deeply rooted in Loh’s multifaceted experiences and identity, this body of work explores liminal spaces and moments of emotional resonance across a range of fictitious terrains. The paintings express a series of polarities: the scenes are both comforting and unsettling, mundane yet dramatic, real yet imaginary, extraordinary yet wonderfully familiar. Through these contrasts, Loh reveals the tension between the paradises we long for and those we may already inhabit, often unnoticed. The subtleties of his work invites viewers to re-examine the paradises they engage with, whether imagined or found in the everyday.
