Inspired by pop culture, anime and childhood cartoons, Koh’s painting renders a satirical view of iconic superheroes presented through characters with box heads. With these characters, he explores a variety of themes — hope in a not-so-perfect world; the idea of lying; good versus evil as well as personal experiences. His brightly coloured works reveal contemporary concerns regarding social and cultural environments. C.K. Koh graduated with a BA in Visual Communications at the University of Central England. He worked as a visual artist with Singapore’s Batey Ads, then The One Academy (head, fine arts division) and Magicbird Publishing (art director). He has had seven solos since Pandora’s Box at The One Gallery in 2008, and his first overseas solo was at the Galerie Steph in Singapore in 2015, called A Thousand Works. C.K. Koh also had an installation booth, House Of Stars in Art Expo Malaysia 2017. His solo exhibition The Wanderer was held at Gallery 10, Malaysia in 2020. His latest solo The Wanderer: Detour was held at Art Porters Gallery, Singapore in early 2022.
