Born in Singapore (1990) and graduate from the Lasalle College of the Arts, Faculty of Fine Art (2010), Ruben Pang is constantly exploring a new intuitive method of painting. His paintings are projections of his psyche, reflecting on notions of prospect, arrival, and transformation. With no preconceived notion of how the painting should look like at its inception, Pang’s process of creation evolves with each mark added or subtracted from the painting surface.
His recent international shows include Zwitterion, a solo exhibition at Primo Marella Gallery (Milan, 2016), Transfiguration (Israel, 2015), Intravenous Picture Show and Aetheric Portraiture (Lugano, Switzerland, 2013 and 2014) and a group exhibition, Deep SEA at Primo Marella Gallery in Milan, Italy. Locally, he has exhibited and performed in the Singapore Art Museum, Lasalle College of the Art's Praxis and Project Space, The Substation and Chan Hampe Galleries. He received the Winston Oh Travelogue Award (2010), the Georgette Chen Arts Scholarship (2009-2010), the Lasalle Award for Academic Excellence and was a finalist in the Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2010 and 2011.
