Nothing is Minor: Visual Records of Feeling, Repetition and Restlessness, is a two-person exhibition featuring Thai artist Benzilla and Spanish artist Imon Boy. This exhibition marks the first time the works of two internationally acclaimed artists are presented together in Singapore.
Nothing is Minor sets forth a quiet but compelling proposition: what we often overlook as unimportant or mundane may, in fact, be the deepest source of meaning. Through painting, Benzilla and Imon Boy explore how personal memories, emotional repetitions, and cultural fragments shape the textures of everyday life in contrasting ways.
Benzilla, known for his vivid characters and frenetic layering of visual culture, draws inspiration from Japanese and American pop culture, street art, and science fiction. His signature character, “LOOOK”—a three-eyed alien—acts as an outsider navigating digital chaos and consumer symbols. With the capture of noise from the outside world, his works are both playful and critical, transforming emojis, logos, and internet ephemera into mediations on identity and overstimulation.
In contrast, Imon Boy’s paintings offer a quieter introspection. Emerging from Spain’s graffiti scene, he uses a diary-like approach to capture dimly lit rooms, pets, half-glimpsed screens, and moments of stillness. With a subdued palette and recurring motifs – cats, beds, dusk – his work dwells in emotional undercurrents that resist spectacle. As he puts it, his practice is “the translation of the last page of a school notebook”: a place for stray thoughts, scribbled memories, and quiet truths.
