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 was featured in a solo exhibition at Tyler Rollins Fine Art in early 2010. Entitled Sitayana, it was the artist’s provocative reimagining of the Ramayana from the feminist perspective of a gay Asian man. Please see the exhibition page for more information about this show.
