Speculations centre around Ruben Pang's ambiguous figure types with undefined forms and electric razzmatazz psychedelia, a kind of neurosis as parallel beings in a make-believe world, and what? This work, Building The Triad coming from his Vertical Paintings series sometimes dubbed 'ethereal' continues the open-ended intrigue with Star Wars imagery and scenario. Though futuristic looking and more tragic than heroic, the character, he/she/it, morphs into anthropomorphic denisons in a wasteland on earth, even Armageddon, and that explains the feeling of abject alienation. The work is purportedly created not only with brushes but palette knife and even own hands Ruben Pang is a rising Singaporean multi-disciplinary artist with several solos to date since his first at Chan Hampe Galleries in Singapore in 2011. A La Salle College of the Arts alumni, he has had forays overseas too – Pimae Noctis Art Gallery in Lugano, Switzerland (Atheric Portraiture), Vestfossen Kunstaboratorium, Norway (Contemporary Chaos), Antico Mercato di Ortigia, Italy (Medea), Primo Marella Gallery, Milan (Zwitterion), MO, Brescia (Meccaniche della Meraviglia) and Paul Allen Brain Institute, Seattle (The Figure In Process).
