Jolene Liam
£0.00
Jolene Liam is an artist and architect from Singapore who lives in London. She believes that the spaces we inhabit and the objects we collect reveal a lot about us; expressions of our identities, habits, and personalities. Primarily through hand drawing and making in a variety of mediums, her work reflects on ideas of home, nature, and identity.
Her background as an architect has fuelled an interest in observing and documenting how places are occupied and experienced, whilst exploring the gaps between conventional methods of representation. In the process, Liam hopes to encounter different ways of thinking about and depicting the spaces around us, especially everyday and in-between spaces.
Working in the expanded, experimental field of drawing enables Liam to find new ways of interrogating space. The ‘in-between’ and the ‘not quite’ are her tools of choice: drawing with string and jesmonite, or painting on the back of canvases, creating works that sit on the boundaries between drawing and sculpture.
Liam recently studied on ‘The Bigger Picture,’ a part-time postgraduate fine art course at the Essential School of Painting. Previously, she practiced as an architect for over seven years, and studied architecture at the National University of Singapore, Technische Universität München and the University of Westminster.
Her work has been shortlisted for several awards including the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize, Art Gemini Prize, World Illustration Awards, Art Edit Self-Represented Artist Award and Royal Institute of British Architects’ Eye Line Drawing Competition. She has also exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition and the Royal Watercolour Society Open. Her drawings have been featured in several issues of the RIBA Journal, an architecture magazine published by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
