REPRESENTATION ANNOUNCEMENT / Haridas Contemporary is excited to announce our exclusive representation of emerging Singapore artist Lucas Tan (b. 2000).
Lucas Tan is a painter whose practice centres primarily within figuration capturing fleeting moments of privacy, intimacy and desire drawn from everyday life. Compositionally informed by audiovisual and textual literature, Tan directs a sense of yearning into his works that hold space for uncertainty and speculation. Something once felt or imagined, held just out of reach.
Tan holds a Bachelors in Fine Arts (First Class Honours) from Goldsmiths, University of London as conferred by LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. Notably, his work has been exhibited in Haridas Contemporary, Singapore; Richard Koh Fine Art, Singapore; Clifford Chance, Singapore; Alliance Française de Singapour, Singapore; and starch, Singapore.
“This emotional register is perhaps best described in his own words as ‘melancholic’ and ‘sentimental’. Even in moments of physical closeness, there is a subtle distance, a quiet tension that runs through the works. It is not simply romantic longing, but something broader, often rooted in the pressure of becoming, of wanting, of not yet arriving.” – excerpt from Tender Urgency
