FOST Gallery is delighted to present Mirrorball: Reflections on Portraiture with artworks by Bea Camacho, Jon Chan, Lavender Chang, Kray Chen, John Clang and Joanne Lim, in conjunction with Singapore Art Week 2026.

Across cultures and centuries, people have sought to uncover the fundamental truths of their existence and identity. Portraiture has long stood as an important way for artists to engage with these questions, enduring across millennia as one of the most compelling genres in the visual arts. As times change, so too do the ways artists interpret the human body. These representations act not only as reflections of the self, but also hold a mirror up to the broader contexts and shifting paradigms within which the artist and the artwork situate themselves.

The six artists work across a wide range of disciplines, and their works explore the boundaries of contemporary portraiture, paying homage to the traditions of the art form while also asserting it as a fertile ground for experimentation and reinvention. Much like a literal mirror ball that refracts light in countless directions, the exhibition presents a breadth of diverging ways through which the human body and identity are expressed.
