Comprising soil paintings on large transparent sheets, abstract compositions on shaped wood and video works, Land-scape expands on Wyn-Lyn Tan’s continued fascination with the natural world and her desire to connect with the surrounding environment. Consistent across the presented artworks are plays of light and shadow on rock formations, panoramic landscapes, mountain peaks and water expanses. These works surface her observations on the ephemeral quality of nature that changes according to weather conditions and vantage points and result from Tan’s explorations into the forests, old quarries and shorelines of Singapore over the last few years. The videos on view culminate from Tan’s experimentation with machine learning technology that extends upon her painting practice, with several works also merging the photographic image and her painterly forms. Morphing and unfolding between representation and abstraction, and the macro and micro, Land-scape evokes the familiar and unfamiliar through a play of perspective, framing and an embrace of the incidental.
