Back to his quirky best, Paul Koh tugs at the heartstrings yet again and takes you to a bewildering and delightful fairy-tale realm that spans 4 different exhibitions in 2008 - "Garden of Eden", "The Enlightened Series", "Imagine-Nation" and "Catmasutra 5".
Snuggling up to the knowing and mischievious Catmasutra cat, you'll discover a place where emotions are innocent enough to run free, and dreams more than just make-believe. Quirky, amusing, zen and karmic, Paul's paintings unveil an “in-between” world where innocence and mischief go hand in hand.
In "Catmasutra - The Enlightened Series", the cats are presented in meditative and mystical settings, with foundational ideas based on Asian philosophical traditions, notably Buddhism, Zen and Taoism. Using the trademark eyes-wide-shut and ear-to-ear grin of the Catmasutra cats as our true nature, worn as masks on the outside, beckoning us to be present in the here and now for the mystery of life. The meditative aspect begins with the artist's attempt to accept our true nature as is, and by referencing the process of inner transformation, presents an interplay of paradoxical concepts, revealing the essence in between. The space-engendering figures of the cat and it's other protagonists are contrasted with the flat and mystical background, and this allows for an endless amount of freedom for the fantasy of the child as well as the reflective imagination of the adult viewer.
