Working with Light

Artwork Description: A proposed layout space of an art gallery within Kensington, Calgary. 

Artist's Bio:  Bryan, a Singaporean artist, brings his passion for plants and public spaces to his art practice. With a background working at Gardens by the Bay, Bryan has witnessed firsthand the impact of thoughtful design on human well-being. He aims to create art that not only beautifies public spaces but also fosters a sense of comfort and community. Through his work, Bryan hopes to inspire a deeper connection between individuals and their surroundings. 

Artist's statement: My art practice is inspired by the interconnectedness of nature, architecture, and human experience in Calgary's urban landscape. Through my work, I aim to create vibrant and inclusive spaces that bring people together, such as a dynamic playground for children to explore and learn, and a serene oasis in Bowness where people can unwind, enjoy local food, and connect with others amidst lush greenery and inviting seating areas. By harmonizing natural and built elements, I strive to craft immersive experiences that encourage Calgarians to slow down, appreciate their surroundings, and forge meaningful connections with their community.
