eeshaun CV

Eeshaun is an artist, illustrator, and educator. Eeshuan’s artistic practice involves exploring non-linear and spontaneous open-ended narratives that express the subconscious mind, as a reaction to Singapore’s systematic planning, regularity, and austerity.

Often unplanned, his abstract, non-conceptual paintings are an experiential and experimental process, as he juxtaposes shapes, lines, and planes into a geometry of harmonious colors and playful forms. In recent years, Eeshuan’s interest in mindfulness and meditation has led him towards contemplative, rhythmic, and energetic color field paintings that reflect and record the passage of time, while exploring the tension between movement and stillness.

Since 2005, Eeshaun has created artwork for clients including Apple, Disney, Facebook, Adidas, Nike, Lacoste, Singapore Fashion Festival, Herman Miller, Shack Shack, and Kiehl’s. In 2008, he was commissioned by the Singapore Design Council to design the Singapore Pavilion, Supergarden, for the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale. His largest public art installation, Move!, was commissioned by the Land Transport Authority of Singapore for the Bishan Circle Line in 2009. His installations have been featured in The National Gallery Singapore, the Singapore Design Festival, iLight Marina Bay Sands, and the 2019 Berlin Festival of Lights. He is a recipient of the 2011 Sovereign Asian Art Prize.
