Jimmy Ong is among Singapore’s preeminent contemporary artists and has been noted for his large scale, figurative charcoal works on paper since his first solo exhibitions in the 1980s. His art explores complex themes of ancestry, sexuality and identity.
Ong is currently featured in a solo exhibition at Tyler Rollins Fine Art. Entitled Sitayana, it is the artist’s provocative reimagining of the Ramayana from the feminist perspective of a gay Asian man.
