Claudia Koh (b.1999) is a Singaporean painter, currently based in Providence.
Drawing the symbolism inherent in natural and manmade surroundings, Koh
incorporates these elements into her artworks to explore the intricate interplay
between her body and the environment. Deliberately contemplating the canvas
space, she adeptly negotiates the fine line between asserting her presence and
seamlessly blending into her surroundings. As a Southeast Asian woman with a
Chinese background, Koh employs symbolic and cultural elements to convey
nuanced narratives. Her exploration extends to the complex relationship between
the mind and body, particularly when faced with the challenges of detachment
from one's home, navigating emotions of anxiety, grief, and neglect heightened
by physical distance.
