Featured are imagined environments in the Atlantic Ocean and a rocky river terrain in Canada. Through his two paintings, Yap evokes a sentimental sense of nostalgia. However, instead of depicting the sense of ‘belonging’ through the creature’s physical boundaries, what underlines both paintings are the emotional connection and security associated with the closely knit Mergazelle family he has conceived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of the big fish hole lake in Canada. It is the 2nd Home of Mergazelle family. Mergazelles construct the floating logs over the lake so they can jump around \u0026amp; having fun. The mergazelle was standing on a rock because it can be seen or far away in the fish hole lake. During the daytime, it takes a nap to sunbathe in the sand beside the fish hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: Acrylic on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 59 cm x 84 cm each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFramed: No. If you would like this artwork framed, please enquire at social@artdis.org.sg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout Aaron Yap\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAaron Yap is an artist whose practice centres on drawing cartoon characters situated within familiar landmarks. Through sketching, he reflects on personal experiences of travelling across Singapore and beyond, translating memory and place into playful visual narratives. His works are characterised by careful attention to detail and persistence, with each drawing developed through sustained focus and precision. Yap approaches image-making as a means of expression and observation. In 2019, he received the NAFA CLE Certificate in Visual Arts.
