Kim Hyesu is a Korean interdisciplinary artist based in Singapore, who often finds inspiration from the very trivial moments of everyday encounters and re-generates the sense of emotions through painterly gestures and digital manipulations.

Dea Ratna has spent years questioning if ‘she’ felt right. For now, ‘she’ does not, for they are more comfortable swinging back and forth, stepping over the line, destroying that line, obscuring it until it no longer exists. They like to question why these lines exist and why we all must choose one or the other, instead of neither or both. Through their work, they like to tell stories of the juxtaposition between the two sides and how maybe they’re not so different after all. https://dearatna.wixsite.com/dearatna

Ju-Lyn is concerned about things such as transience, identity, and meaning, along the lines of existentialist and daoist ideas. Following such ideas that the arts may offer insights and reconciliation, she hypothesises that self-development lend possibilities too, and thus sets about learning about the arts. Having finished a Fine Art diploma programme at NAFA, and recently, the MA in Museum Studies and Curatorial Practices programme at NTU ADM, Ju-Lyn is now an “independent student”. She tries to focus her research on Chinese ink, but produces various forms of visual and literary art as well.  http://www.meekfreak.com/about-indie-studies
