How often have we tried to mark our ideas of growth? It is a process that eludes and empowers, albeit one we have tried to demarcate and demystify. Growth exists in abundance; teems in flourishing moments. Yet, it also lurks at cavernous loss and despair. While we adapt or struggle to present a mirage of reality, an undergrowth persists in our psychology.
Built on the melding of ethereal and corporeal facets of natural phenomena and human anatomy, Echoes of Undergrowth marks John Marie Andrada’s second solo at Haridas Contemporary. Featuring sixteen new works comprising of fourteen paintings and two multi-media installations, Andrada seeks to lull the viewer into botanical dreamscapes as they piece together newfound focal points in nature and the physical body.
Based in Singapore, John Marie Andrada (b. 2001, Philippines) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, installation, sculpture, photography and video. Growing up and taking root in a once foreign country, she moves between mediums and draws from personal recounts to reflect on the complexities of identity, time and the human experience. Defined by an ongoing investigation of how narrative and visual language can intertwine, her practice blends figuration and abstraction, driven by an intuitive, experimental approach to image-making.
