Olga Sho
Olga Sho is an artist based in Singapore who uses different forms of drawing as a process of thinking, cognition and reflection on social phenomena such as alienation, anxiety, interpersonal contradictions and conformity.
Conceptually and visually, she draws on the theory of systems, networks and chaos, transferring structures, patterns, movement and state of balance into drawings on paper and wall installations, to evoke feelings of interconnectedness and shifting realities.
Her works tend to employ a monochromatic palette using broad swashes of colour, with refined details layered on top.
Olga’s artistic practice is linked with her professional experience in data science.
With a foundation in academic drawing, Olga obtained an MA Fine Arts degree in contemporary research practice at LASALLE College of the Arts, awarded by Goldsmiths, University of London
