MAKAN is a Malay word meaning “eat”, but has also become a part of Singlish, easily understood by most people in Singapore regardless of race. Eddie Botha’s exhibition “Makan” refers to the communal action of obtaining emotional nutrients for the journey ahead. It is about food being a means to socialize and shaping social circles around restaurants and meal times, as well as referring to emotional and social nutrition that the art world provides.

Using humor to entertain the viewer, Eddie also provides food for thought through his artworks by drawing attention to different types of interaction, and raising questions about what we consume, food or otherwise. His work has been receiving high accolades in Australia and he is making waves with his fresh and innovative electronic works, mixed media and original hand drawings.
