Hans

Hans Chew Zi Yang creates peculiar and deformed ceramic sculptures that are the result of repeated spontaneous creation and destruction. These ghostly pieces are portrayals of the inner world of the artist.

Based in Japan and Singapore, “Street Court” is an art concept created by the artist during his studies in Japan, inspired by various interesting experiences in urban living. Although the shapes appear abstract, careful observation reveals prototypes of life scenes such as houses, trees, surveillance cameras, and inexplicable creatures. Art originates from life but often transcends the boundaries of reality, presenting marvelous results. Starting with his grandparents’ migration to Southeast Asia, Chew considers himself one-third Chinese in this third generation of his family.
