William Goh Jin Hong

William Goh Jin Hong 吳錦宏 (b. 1992, Singapore) is a multi-disciplinary artist who works with a wide range of media, including oil and acrylic painting, sculpture, drawing and mixed media. He graduated with a Diploma in Art Teaching from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore, in 2017. In 2020, he graduated with a Bachelor in Art Education from the National Institute of Education, Singapore.

Goh seeks to find his identity and relishes it in the process of art-making. His work mainly addresses the relationship between time and functionality, attempting to show the bridge between reality and imagination of the mind. Places and objects are drawn from recollections of the artist’s observations, inspiring the viewer to draw connections with what they find familiar. He emphasises the persistence of an ambiguous pursuit to replicate and relate, to venture into the realms of familiarity.
