Faris Heizer is a multi-disciplinary artist who is currently working predominantly with oil paint. His works are a response to the conformist ideologies of the Singaporean society transferred onto canvas. In the series Hollow Men, he constructs an abject realm where the citizens are generalised and translated into depictions of white collared workers carrying out unusual activities to juxtapose their routinised temperaments. Through the repetitive applications of paint, the figures in suits undergo constant re-establishment and are reduced into mere epitaphs.
