Warren Benedict Khong

Born and currently based in Singapore, Warren Khong
graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Painting and
Drawing from the University of Huddersfield, UK and
the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore in 2009.

Khong is fascinated with the eternal idea of Beauty;
specifically, the ideal of Beauty that is attributed to the
feminine face. Influences reminiscent of manga,
anime and the ‘Superflat’ in Japanese culture inform
his aesthetics, and Khong’s practice engages with the
manifold manifestations of this ideal through the use
of text and the highly plastic mangasque imagery.
However, desiring to move away from the pictorial
fetish, he has recently been experimenting with the
use of minimalistic text-as-image and enjoys the
strange dichotomy of his current practice.
