Shapes in Symmetry

2019

Shapes in Symmetry is a two-person exhibition curated by Michelle Ho at the ADM Gallery, Nanyang Technological University, featuring works by Chalit Kongsuwan and Grace Tan whose practices stem from their backgrounds in product and fashion design respectively. Drawing from working methodologies based on techniques of construction that engage with a wide range of materials, their works in the exhibition are also informed by the philosophies and processes in art history and Buddhist thought.

In this exhibition, both artists play with a range of forms: circles, cones, rectangles, triangles and more, expanding upon the possible dimensions of these elementary models which gain their own momentum and aesthetic form through controlled improvisation and serial repetition.

The exhibition brand mark and design was designed to draw similarities between both artist works; the harmony of shapes and forms through the principles of symmetry and equilibrium.

 

 

We also designed a limited edition artist postcard book for Grace Tan which showcases her thought process, and to get users to understand how many different patterns can be made from simple shapes.
