Singapore is considered one of the most efficient countries in the world. Just as this systematic efficiency has brought us success, it has also left an indelible imprint on our subconscious, where "truth" is seen and valued in terms of a prescribed path to success and happiness. This exhibition by Singapore cat artist, Paul Koh "Imagine-Nation" asks us to look within instead, to listen to our own thoughts for a change, and plant these thoughts and consciously choose the path that we really want to take. Inherently, it attempts to expose our collective delusions about the "pre-programmed" nature of our life, and the prescribed notions on the best way to live...
Using the Catmasutra cats in social and surreal settings, this collection of the unique cat art paintings by Singapore cat artist Paul Koh, aims to provoke thoughts about our lives in our urbanized city in a quirky and irreverent way. References from popular and local culture are used and weaved as a counterpoint in each cat painting. The essence of the Catmasutra cats is based on their eyes-wide-shut, ear-to-ear grin, which translates to a deep-seated childhood innocence cum devil-may-care bravado, with a healthy dosage of self-belief and unpretentiousness... This serves as an anchor for all of Catmasutra paintings... Come experience the quirky world of cat paintings in this unique showcase of the popular catmaSutra cat by Singapore cat Artist, Paul Koh.
