コー・ケシンはシンガポールを拠点に独学で学ぶ芸術家です。絵画に対する情熱は幼少期からはじまり、荒野の畑や貯水池のある穏やかな雰囲気を持つクランジで育ちました。彼女を取り巻く豊富な自然は、徐々にアート制作に夢中になるきっかけとなりました。(Translated by Studio Kura)
beginnings
After several years as a marketer, I made the leap to pursue my first love—drawing. My artistic journey began with an artist residency at Studio Kura, culminating in my first solo exhibition in Itoshima, Fukuoka, Japan. This experience solidified my passion for storytelling through art and design.
Creativity has always been a defining part of my life. As a child, I was captivated by art, design, and all things imaginative. One of my earliest milestones was winning a national art competition as a primary school student, organised in conjunction with Singapore’s National Day celebrations by the Ministry of Education. My artwork was selected to be displayed on a public bus—an early glimpse into the power of art in shaping public spaces and experiences.
That same fascination with immersive storytelling continues to drive my work today, blending art, design, and interactive experiences to create something meaningful and memorable.
