At the heart of Howard Tanโs upcoming solo exhibition, ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐พ๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ง๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ ๐จ lies the concept of found objectsโelements collected over the years that reflect Howardโs childhood memories, particularly from the fishing villages of his upbringing. These materials, whether wood, metal, or concrete, come together in assemblage works that showcase his lifelong connection to disorganized settings filled with rich textures. This tactile approach almost mirrors the ambiance of dilapidated spaces in Penang, capturing the essence of a locale steeped in history and sentiment. By repurposing these found objects, he crafts an intersection between the past and present, while also revealing the beauty inherent in what is often forgotten and overlooked.
Building upon his earlier assemblage works, Howardโs current exhibition is a natural progression of his artistic practice. His previous pieces laid the groundwork for a more playful exploration of mixed media, a technique heโs intimately familiar with, thanks to his formative experiences. Howardโs creative process resembles that of a chef in the kitchenโscouring his surroundings for โingredientsโ and trusting his intuition to guide the assembly of each piece. Just as a recipe evolves through experimentation, Howardโs creations emerge from a thoughtful interplay of materialities, resulting in a blend of textures and forms, ultimately culminating in works that evoke both nostalgia and a sense of place.
