Neo Kampong

Izzad Radzali Shah uses abstract forms and motifs to represent his love-hate relationship with objects, people, space and time. His work often references from history and culture, documenting the mundane and immediate experience of living in a sophisticated city like Singapore. Metaphors and symbols play an important role in his works as they function to disguise hidden messages that poke fun at society - almost like a riddle, waiting to be solved. He works mostly on materials that he finds, and this raw aesthetic unique to found materials also elevates his cultural messages, bringing his mastery in this "neo-kampong" genre of art whole and his to claim.
