About the Artist
Claudia Koh (b. 1999, Singapore) is a painter whose practice explores how memory, identity, and intimacy are shaped by Singapore and its highly structured urban landscape. Growing up amid manicured greenery, dense housing, and tightly designed infrastructures, she examines the tensions between nature and artifice, containment and autonomy. Her paintings weave together bodies, domestic spaces, and symbolic ecosystems like flowers, water, aquariums, soft organic forms to reflect the emotional negotiations required within controlled environments. These motifs become metaphors for postmodern anxieties: alienation within standardized spaces, blurred public-private boundaries, and the psychological pressures of adapting to engineered surroundings. Drawing from her Chinese-Singaporean heritage, Koh’s work engages cultural memory while questioning how individual identity persists inside rapidly shifting, carefully curated urban ecologies. Claudia Koh (b. 1999, Singapore, lives and works in New York) She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Providence, in 2025. Solo exhibitions include “Where the Flower Blooms,” Cuturi Gallery, Singapore (2022) and “Soft Spot,” Super Dakota, Belgium (2025). Her work has also been shown in Singapore, New York, Milan and Belgium.
