        Joel Yuen (b. 1983) Anatomical Fantasies Of Meat, Part One, 01, 2008

        Est: RM2,000 - RM3,800

        Joel Yuen's series of archival inkjet print photographs, entitled Anatomical Fantasies Of Meat won the grand prize at the UOB Painting Of The Year, Singapore in 2008. It was the first photography artwork to receive the grand prize. A contemporary approach was devised to express the theme of anatomical still life as perceived by the artist. Drawing reference from the Western still life painting tradition, the work features web-like animal organs portrayed with the effects of light and shadow. Joel Yuen studied at Nanyang Technological University's School of Art, Design & Media with a major in Photography & Digital Imaging (BFA) and received his MA Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art & Design (London). Yuen has been focusing his practice on social issues within the context of Singapore, and how the work challenges the established norms of visual perception and understanding. His preferred medium is photography, video, and sculpture. His innovative approach and concept had also seen him featured in the Nouvelles Vages: File Not Found, at Palais de Tokyo, in Paris. He had a special Singapore show titled, Future Proof, at the Singapore Art Museum at 8Q. The other awards of this 'hot' multidisciplinary artist include 3rd Prize in the United States International Photography Awards (2008), the Crowbar Awards Best of Photography (2008), and Merit Prize in the first Ngee Ann Distinguished Sculpture Awards in 2010.

        “In order to execute and portray an idea manifestly, staged photography has become the apt choice of expression for the contemporary arts. My ideas and inspiration stem from religion and religious art (Roman Catholic), where a deep sense of ideology is portrayed. After exploring different mediums and art genres, the crux of a finished piece of work is for it to convey a message that relates to the human psyche.” - Joel Yuen Joel Yuen studied at Nanyang Technological University’s School of Art, Design & Media with a major in Photography & Digital Imaging (BFA), and received his MA Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art & Design (London).

      • JOEL YUEN (b. 1983) SYMBIOSIS: BONE-CEMENT-TECHNOLOGY SERIES 04, 2009, Photograph, edition 1 of 5
        Apr. 23, 2017

        JOEL YUEN (b. 1983) SYMBIOSIS: BONE-CEMENT-TECHNOLOGY SERIES 04, 2009, Photograph, edition 1 of 5

        Est: RM2,000 - RM3,500

        This manipulated and light-mediated ‘photograph’ of a surreal landscape best represents what Contemporary Photography is all about. Indeed, it’s photography’s ascendancy and dominance in art competitions that UOB (United Overseas Bank, known for the regional art competition under its name), scrapped photographs from the entries in 2013 – mainly because of Yuen and Zhao Ren Hui. Yuen won the UOB Painting of the Year (Singapore) in 2008. This fantasy work comes from his Symbiosis solo exhibition at the Jendela Gallery, Singapore, in August 2009. His innovative approach and concept had also seen him featured in the Nouvelles Vages: File Not Found, at Palais de Tokyo, in Paris. He had a special Singapore show titled, Future Proof, at the Singapore Art Museum at 8Q. The other awards of this ‘hot’ multidisciplinary artist include 3rd Prize in the United States International Photography Awards (2008), the Crowbar Awards Best of Photography (2008), and Merit Prize in the first Ngee Ann Distinguished Sculpture Awards in 2010. Yuen studied Interactive Media design at the Temasek Polytechnic, and obtained his BFA in Photography and Digital Imaging from the Nanyang Technological University, and MFA from the Chelsea College of Art and Design.
