Bringing together for the first time a group of 18 contemporary Singaporean artists who significantly employ figuration in their practices, RAW FORMS was conceived as an exercise in reflecting and understanding why these artists continue to be drawn to figuration and in particular, the human figure, as a primary subject of their works.

It observes a growing number of such contemporary practices which often veer away from realist traditions, and rather manipulate a range of expressionist depictions, exaggerated proportions, emotive renderings and abstract forms.

What is the continued value in making figurative works? Is figurative art more accessible in their immediacy? And lastly, how does one depict or capture the rawness of humanity?
