(b.1990, Singapore) |
Lewis Choo Li Wei (b. 1990) is a sculptor whose practice is focused on hyper local experiences that are a precipitation of careful introspection in his daily environment. Choo’s work which appears both classical and modern, incorporates mindfulness through the interpretation of Chinese and Japanese classics infused with contemporary thoughts that stems from his sentiment and desire to provide a platform for the further digging of its underpinnings historical, societal and traditional values.
