John Clang
Jul 23, 2009 posted by: Jason Wong

John Clang is a genius in his respective field. Sculptor, interventionist, photographer and commercial artist, Clang has exhibited some of the most intriguing bodies of work I've seen from any artist his age. Born in Singapore, Clang entertained the idea of going to school for fine art photography at Lasalle College of the Arts, but ultimately left to assist renowned photographer, Chua Soo Bin. Within the few years that Clang has been exhibiting his work in galleries internationally, and has gathered a large following. The reception of his work has been vastly positive and some of his personal art is now a part of the permanent collection at the Singapore Museum. Clang's subjects typify a view of South East Asian metropolitan cities not seen through conventional digital photography. Following his instinctual aesthetics, Clang creates art that is both natural and sensitive.

Bruce Lee Museum
Jul 22, 2009 posted by: Jason Wong

It's been over a year since we've had the Nature of Water Show exhibiting works related to Bruce Lee, but we still think about it in passing. In Hong Kong, a new museum is going to be dedicated to the icon. The Associated Press reports that they will be holding architecture design competition for the new building. Bruce Lee's daughter, Shannon Lee, a panel of architects and city planners will be judging the design as well. We over here at Nucleus are happy that the career, life and philosophies of Lee will finally find a home. Perhaps we'll see a few works from the Nature of Water show at the museum.

Jonathan Weiner
Jul 21, 2009 posted by: Jason Wong

I'm a big fan of Jonathan Weiner's work. His paintings are a kind of window to a dismal New England coast life, but offer an interesting slice of contemporaneity. Overcast weather and falling leaves seems to be a running motif in a lot of work and setting the tone for situations like out of a poem by Edgar Allen Poe. Frankly, his neutral palette seems all too familiar with a lot of work I've seen in this genre but a lot of times I am struck but elements that break commonality amongst his peers. From unusual costumes, bizarre gestures to the incorporation of modern technology Weiner paintings have a lot to offer the careful observer.

Philip-Lorca Dicorcia
Jul 20, 2009 posted by: Jason Wong

'Brent Booth, 21 years old, Des Moines, Iowa $30' 1990-92 C-type print

Yale graduate and professor, Philip-Lorca DiCorcia is an expert on photographic lighting. With the use of mixed lighting effects, golden-hour shooting, gels and filters, DiCorcia imbues images with sentimentality and an eerie conception of space. One of my favorite projects of his was a series of photographs shot in Hollywood in an area of Santa Monica boulevard, loosely named, "The Hustlers". Dicorcia shot images of various male prostitutes on the street, paying them the same rate that they would for their regular 'services'. Each photo is titled with the sitter's name, place of birth, and their price.
