Intermission by Esmond Loh

Haridas Contemporary is thrilled to present Esmond Loh’s (b. 1995) latest solo exhibition with the gallery. Titled Intermission, Loh explores the pauses that emerge within the ongoing performance of everyday life. Intermission features 17 new paintings.

Set against a backdrop of rural and urban landscapes that appear ambiguous yet intimately familiar, this series of new works conjures figurative scenes of individuals caught between roles. Within such precious pockets of time, in a society shaped by perpetual momentum and productivity, Loh draws our attention to the suspense that envelops these private vignettes of rest, waiting, or escape.
