VISUAL ARTIST, FARIS NAKAMURA - Fourth Solo Exhibition: XOXO SKELETON

Simon Lim puts the spotlight on Visual Artist, Faris Nakamura. Faris has exhibited in shows both locally and internationally, including the Kobe Biennale in Japan, as well as at venues in Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.  On this podcast, Faris Nakamura shares about his fourth solo exhibition with Richard Koh Fine Art at Block 47 Malan Road, Gillman Barracks. Faris' new works at this exhibition titled "XOXO SKELETON" explore the overlaps between insect and human skeletal frames. How similar is an insect's exoskeleton to ours? How do we evaluate ourselves as part of nature? As an avid carer of insects over the years, Faris pays tribute to insect forms using sculptures as a pseudo love-letter and scientific study.  ARTIST BACKGROUNDFaris Nakamura holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts (First Class Honours) from LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership with Goldsmiths, University of London in 2014. Faris is the Finalist of the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, 2023 and the Winner of the IMPART Art Prize, 2020. He was awarded the Young Talent Programme Winners’ Solo, 2017/2018, the Grand Winner at the Shitsurai International Art Competition, Kobe Biennale, 2015 and the Winston Oh Travel Award, 2013.
