Warut Loke b.93
Warut Loke is a figurative painter who uses dancer as his subject matter for most of his work. Fascinated by the movements, choreography, the sets and the effects of lighting in dance performances, he uses those elements and the ephemeral nature of dance as inspiration for his work. The work he produces can be seen as a recording of a specific moment in a dance performance or even movement that is gone forever through the use of various mediums such as video/ photography, drawing and painting. Currently he is using the nature of chance/accident, colours and marks in painting to capture the body movement.
Warut graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts with a Bachelor (Hons) in Fine Arts. He was recently part of the "Young Artist Talent 11" @ Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand (2020) and has also participated in group exhibitions locally like "Pameran Poskad" @ ION Art Gallery (2020), "Reject" @ Substation Gallery (2019), “Fantastic Rubbish: For the love of Locality” @ Brother Joseph McNally Gallery (2015), “Garnish With” @ ICA Gallery (2015), “In a space across from you” @ Project Space Gallery (2014), “Seni Mini” @ Mi Casa Su Casa Gallery- Alternative Art Space (2014).
He is part of a social enterprise called Mural Lingo where he did painting mural for schools like SIT Dover and Broadrick Secondary School, he was also part of a non-profit organization called Popin Craft where he did art and craft related workshops. Some of which were “Clothes Call (Clothes Repurposing)” @ IMM Jurong and “Postcards design workshops” @ Tampines Void Deck. Besides that, he had also worked with Singapore Art Museum to assist on workshops.
