Sophie Teh
Malaysian born artist, Sophie Teh, is a painter who is interested in depicting familiar forms in unusual ways. In her paintings, recognisable objects and patterns are manipulated to explore how cultural conditioning and personal memories influence how we perceive and react to visual stimuli.
Sophie’s work plays with both abstract and figurative themes. Neo-objects are employed to further push assumptions and the imagination. Forms and colours are used to invite interpretations and dialogues and they are meant to ignite associations and emotions in the viewer. Teh believes that we cognitively and perceptually mesh with painting, and that there is a mutual activation. The resulting experience of this is generative and pushes viewers towards an understanding of their experiences.
