NOW ON VIEW in Canberra, Australia: ‘Painting Itself / 绘画本身’ at ANU School of Art & Design till 28 June 2026, featuring works by Noor Mahnun (Anum) alongside Jon Chan, Un Cheng, Chris Heun Sin-Kan and Tang Dixin.

Curated by , the exhibition explores a horizontal culture in painting, where fundamental ideas about its history and vitality – long the influence of European and American values – are being reshaped in East and Southeast Asia. A common understanding is that painters look for the ‘face’ of their work, that aspect of a painting that looks back at them. Each of the artists in the exhibition takes on this idea, leaning into the mood and psychic processes of their own painting, with its inner constraints and struggles.

‘Fearsome Engines’ opens this Saturday 30 May with an artist talk from 2-3pm at the gallery!

Come join us and meet the four artists who will share more about how gaming worlds inform their practices and their works in the exhibition, which explore the aesthetics of game-related spaces and their enabling technologies.

Charles Lim (b. 1973, Singapore) explores man-made systems and the natural world through field research, drawing, photography, and video. Best known for his long-term project SEA STATE (2005-present), he represent Singapore at the 2015 Venice Biennale and won a Special Mention at the 2011 Venice Film Festival in 2011 for his short film ‘All The Lines Flow Out’.

Debbie Ding (b. 1984, Singapore) is an artist-scholar working across artistic research, technology, and game studies. A certified Unity Associate Game Developer and PhD researcher exploring psychogeography in virtual worlds, her work has been collected by the Singapore Art Museum and exhibited at Ars Electronica.

Martin Constable (b. 1961, Canada) is a painter and currently serves as head of Digital Media programme at RMIT in Vietnam. As an art educator, he has mentored many of Southeast Asia’s most renowned contemporary artists.

Join us for the opening and artist talk of ‘Fearsome Engines’ this Saturday 30 May, 2-7pm at the gallery!

Fearsome Engines is a group exhibition featuring four artists Charles Lim, Debbie Ding, Hà Ninh Pham and Martin Constable, whose works explore the aesthetics of game-related spaces and their enabling technologies. Curated by Martin Constable, the exhibition examines the friction between gaming spaces and physical reality. Although none of them are gamers, each artist engages with the visual language and infrastructure of gaming in diverse ways, looking into themes of control, memory and corporate obsolescence.

Artist Talk: ‘Game Engines? Game Engines!’
Saturday 30 May, 2-3pm

The four artists discuss how gaming worlds, systems, images, and failures inform their practices,  and why, as they suggest, they would rather make art about games than play them.

Spaces are limited, RSVP via link in bio

It’s the final week to catch Luke Heng’s ‘Mechanics of the Snap’ at the gallery, on view till Sunday 24 May. ⛓️‍💥

The paintings in this exhibition foreground emotions rooted in absence and loss, creating spaces of repository that resist fixed identity. The figure in ‘Baptism by Fire’ (2026), turned away from us, urges contemplation and empathy. While ‘Pool things in the pool’ (2026) encourages a gesture of looking in or leaning in. Here, the mechanics of the snap become visible—not as a violent break, but as a quiet, gravitational pull toward entropy.

Noor Mahnun (Anum) reimagines the urban vignettes of Malayan Classicism through a personal and contemporary lens in her façade paintings, replacing a commercial beauty advertisement with a contemplative portrait of her niece or reducing detailed signage to ambiguous “u are here” markers, to explore the transient grandeur of Southeast Asia’s shifting cultural histories.

A continuation from her watercolour studies, Noor Mahnun (Anum)’s façade paintings focus on the kaki lima (five-foot walkway) – a pedestrian path mandated by colonial authorities in the 1820s for shophouses in Singapore and Malaysia.

These recessed paths have evolved into vital social hubs where the transient grandeur of Malayan architecture, characterised by diverse and ornate plasterwork and tiles, reflects the intersection of migrant cultures and colonial history.
