Not gallery invites you to take a visual journey to explore Tang Ling Nah’s selected charcoal drawings of architectural and transitional spaces of the city, created on paper from 2012 to 2024. The exhibition is named after a drawing with the same title done in 2014.
In these seemingly quiet drawings devoid of humans, Tang draws out spaces of transit in the city and provides an imaginary escape for city-dwellers to ponder on their existence and relationships with other beings, including non-living objects which appear to have lost their owners and taken on a new purpose. In a city steeped with materialism and lack of human empathy, Tang’s drawings seem to cancel out the “noise” (physical noise, speed of life and desire for material things) and encourage one to slow down, reflect and perhaps, to allow one to imagine a friend, or even to dance with a balloon, just like what the artist did when she saw the balloon at Millenia Walk, Singapore.
