Rising Stars: Adeline Thng

About

Adeline Thng is a Singapore-based artist whose practice engages with geometrical interplay of line, form and colour; as seen in her new iteration body of works that are embroidered Plexiglas sculptures – highlighting the attention to fine detail in craftsmanship, precision-making and excellent display of balance in composition and calculation of every piece of mastery.

The artist explores the dialectic relationship of visual order/structure and intrinsic expressions of art. Her artistic process is elaborated as an immersion in the ‘World of Ideal’ as she views the nexus of shapes in tessellation as mathematical poetry in motion, or a beautiful dance in rhythm of shapes on her Plexiglas canvas as she stitches it all into a choreography. It is an intimate affair between the artist and her art pieces, a communication of visual, tactile language. This non-verbal and unimposing language is the key for accessibility for the audience, having the capacity to serve both the artist’s and viewers’ subjectivity.

Crossroads

CROSSROADS is a collection of artworks by Adeline Thng, inspired by her experiences of the twists and turns of existence, where every decision has the potential to change the course of one’s life. With faith as one’s shepherd, we are given the choice to chart our own paths through life, in the process telling stories that matter on a deeply personal level. The different works are visual representations of these crossroads in every way, melding modern techniques with traditional processes, at the crossroads of machine and the handmade.
