RAW FORMS Contemporary Figurative Art in Singapore 
Bringing together for the first time a group of 18 contemporary artists in Singapore who significantly employ figuration in their practices, RAW FORMS was conceived as an exercise in reflecting and understanding why these artists continue to be drawn to figuration and in particular, the human figure, as a primary subject of their works. It observes a growing number of such contemporary practices which often veer away from realist traditions, and rather manipulate a range of expressionist depictions, exaggerated proportions, emotive renderings and abstract forms. What is the continued value in making figurative works? Is figurative art more accessible in their immediacy? And lastly, how does one depict or capture the rawness of humanity? Featuring: Aisha Rosli Alvin Ong Faris Heizer Haq Hilmi Johandi Howie Kim Jeremy Hiah Jimmy Ong Jon Chan Karl Kerridge Low Zu Boon Moses Tan Seelan Palay Tang Mun Kit Terence Teh Toh Bee Suan Oneal Parbo Yanyun Chen Opening 7pm, 3 May 2019. Exhibition runs till 12 May 2019, 12pm to 8pm (weekends), 5pm to 8pm (weekdays).

Coda Culture is proud to announce the opening of MASURI’s first solo presentation, SOFTSTRONG.
Exhibition opens 7pm, 19 April 2019. Runs 12pm - 8pm till 27 April 2019. Facebook event page.
ARTIST STATEMENT MASURI (b.1990, Singapore) is an artist whose core practice concerns the idea of materiality and the transformative potential of everyday industrial materials into painting media. This interest is informed by the expansive parameters of abstraction and the blurring distinctions between painting and sculpture. His sculptural paintings, objects, and drawings tap on unconventional materials like silicon, polyurethane, and gypsum as a conduit towards larger narratives of personal memory, visual recreation, and tactile perception. BIOGRAPHY MASURI graduated in 2018 with BA Fine Art (First Class Honours) from LASALLE College of the Arts accredited by Goldsmiths, University of London. He was a recipient of the prestigious Goh Chok Tong Youth Promise Award as well as the coveted International TAKIFUJI Art Award by Japan Traffic Culture Association. In 2018, he received The Winston Oh Travelogue Award (Research) and he was accorded the Anugerah Cemerlang by MENDAKI for emerging in the top percentile of his cohort.
He has had participated in several group exhibitions notably in Gajah Gallery, TCC International Building, Institute Contemporary Arts Singapore, Meiji Kinenkan, and Gallery Tomo to name a few. He was featured in various newspapers, catalogues, and online articles such as Lifestyle, TODAYonline, Berita Minggu, Berita Harian, Year-In-Review, HYPE & STUFF, and Nenkasha New Art Newspaper.

'The Labyrinth of Things' is an exhibition of new line drawings by Rizman Putra, exploring the transformation of gesture and form on paper to document the relationship between objects of art and the world.
'The Labyrinth...' features approximately 100 works that connect drawing with subjects of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and dance, making the case for a discursive history of mark making, while mapping an alternative project of drawing in the 21st century

Reaching a large mass of anonymous public, the mass media delivers information on happenings around the world each day – professing to impart social truths, and likewise depended on by its readers to uphold objectivity, credibility, and to serve the public interest. 'Cover Story' marks the first solo exhibition by Richard Lim, probing our very own ubiquitous print media, The Straits Times, as the nexus for this interplay of knowledge and power.
Opening 7pm, 19 May. Artist’s talk at 7pm, 23 May. Exhibition runs till 25 May. Facebook event page

Jeremy Hiah’s new solo exhibition, 'The Albino Circus', takes as its point of departure his own oeuvre of performance art and George Orwell’s Animal Farm. As dual acts of preservation - in the form of self-memorialisation and preserving what it means to be human - the series of drawings sound a note of caution on the consequences of man reducing himself to an animal, either in the guise of worldly corruption or enslavement to work. Surreal allegorical figures, part human and part animal, rendered in stark monochromes invite the audience into the cynical yet polysemic, black-and-white yet grey, world of its creator. Opening 7pm, 28 April. Artist's talk at 7pm, 2 May. Exhibition runs till 5 May.

If every inclusion implies an exclusion, then the photographs that map marginalised bodies and geographies in Benjamin Matchap's 'The Purple Line' assert themselves as what they are not. In challenging what we see and photograph as beautiful, the images re-articulate taken for granted assumptions of beauty - of Singapore and Singaporeans. Re-drawing and blurring the boundaries of what is inside and outside of these meanings of beauty, the unconventional and the periphery push our values and notions of diversity and representation to the center stage. Opening reception: 7pm, 24 February Artist's talk: 7pm, 3 March Exhibition runs till 4 March.
