BA(Hons) Fine Arts alumnus Izzad Radzali Shah speaks about his journey as an artist, from initially losing interest in painting to rediscovering his passion after a trip to Jogjakarta in 2015, where he was inspired by the young artists he met. His realisation that art could be a means of expressing views on social issues, or understanding of the Malay identity in Singapore, spurred him to create a prolific body of work that led to his first solo exhibition Long-Term Goal in LASALLE's Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore.
"Often, young artists like [Izzad] feel lost. So in LASALLE, one of our objectives is to provide support to talented artists like him. We give them space for them to express their feelings," said Melanie Pocock, Assistant Curator at LASALLE.
