The Design Conversation Series 2 – Su May Cheah, Art & Design for a Greater Good

 

Sumay Cheah started her artistic journey by dabbling in the art of photography from a very young age and has always been drawn to the play between light and shadow; a signature style seen in most of her creations. As years went by, there was the desire to transcend deeper impact into the world, to weave in more of her personal beliefs into her work, and pay homage to her peranakan heritage. She has also always found immersive art to be wondrous and wanted to bring her audiences that were usually in front of the lens, behind. So here then on, she was set on creating immersive art experiences in many forms that would take her audiences on a journey. OtherHalf Studio was thus born, a partnership between two classmates from high school with a vision to transport audiences to an immersive space, suspended in time. Experiencing OtherHalf’s work is reminiscent of a dreamy and surreal experience. OtherHalf art installations have always been all about inclusivity; always kids and family-friendly, disability-inclusive, and a space where you can truly enjoy and appreciate art single-mindedly without the distraction of the outside world. It is a multi-sensorial art experience like no other.

The Design Conversation Series – The World of Realism

 

Sharon has created and produced various coloured pencil artworks since 2013. Her style of art gravitates towards Realism where she pays utmost attention to details, values and nuances. She uses common, ordinary subjects to metaphorically create a visual understanding of logic and emotions that are integrated into the fabric of human lives.
She strongly believes that what set an artist apart from one another, is the consistency of staying true to their own artistic voice. This is also the ability to express their vision and thoughts authentically regardless of genre, style and medium.
Sharon is a Signature Member of the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA). Her artworks have been featured and published in several international publications and has exhibited both locally and internationally.
