From Little Things, Big Thing Grow
Solo Exhibition by Tey Beng Tze
I’m deeply fascinated by art’s intriguing power to grab hold the deepest recesses of the soul, and so, insist to paint a little everyday, if only to capture the conflicts and contradictions that comes with it.
Sometimes, painting reflect the emotions I feel when facing the world. Other times, it’s the feeling of absurdity, or perhaps, a fear of self existence.But at all times, painting documents my life with the utmost honesty.
