14.01.2022 Jo Darvall’s work appears in ‘Nature, as Told by 3 Artists,’ at Art Forum Singapore. Darvall’s ‘Green Lotus’ (2017), painted in collaboration with Singaporean artist Shih Yun, is a gentle monument to post colonial knowledge exchange in an Asia-Pacific context, and explores the permeable interface between the ‘natural’ and the cultural mediations through which we experience and create it.
