CNTRFLD Willy Tay Interview on Distance Resonance

CNTRFLD.ART featured Singaporean artist Willy Tay in an interview on Distance Resonance – Paintings by Willy Tay, his solo exhibition at iPreciation Gallery.

The interview offers insight into Tay’s artistic practice, his research process and the ideas behind the exhibition. It also explores how his recent paintings reflect on memory, identity and the lasting impact of colonial history.

In the feature, Tay discusses how archival photographs, historical events and reconstructed visual fragments inform his works. Through these sources, he creates layered oil paintings that move between personal memory, collective history and imagined narratives.

The conversation also highlights how Distance Resonance considers Singapore as a migrant city shaped by movement, departure and arrival. As a result, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how history is remembered, retold and reinterpreted across generations.

Overall, the CNTRFLD.ART interview provides a deeper understanding of Tay’s approach to painting and the themes explored in Distance Resonance.
