Acrylic Paint and Pastel on Wood
Inspired by Peranakan art and batik patterns, Memoir aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia through a more contemporary style. Calming pastel colours depicted in crayons more commonly associated with children’s art, there is a sense of childlike and simplicity which encourages the audience to relax and enjoy the pleasant artwork.
ARTIST PROFILE
Current NAFA Fine Arts Student
Kenenza's art practice revolves around the theme of cultural backgrounds, traditions, myths, and urban legends mainly around the South-East Asia region. Her artworks are chaotic in nature, mainly using expressive brushstrokes to transfer and create the energy. Playing on the duality point-of-views, she portrays deconstructing and reconstructing portraits of human figures, canvases, colors, and growing-decaying ideas. Kenenza hopes to bring out a visceral sensation and evoke critical thinking to the audience's mind when experiencing her works.
