My heart will go on and on and on
Solo exhibition
FOST Gallery, Singapore
13 Jan - 23 March 2024
Known for his raw, realistic depictions of everyday life, this body of work turns its gaze toward the forgotten fragments of the street—from a flattened fast-food wrapper and a stray loan-shark card to a crushed eggplant on the asphalt. This exhibition marks a bold shift for the artist, moving beyond casual observation to dive deep into the messy, overlooked corners of urban life.
While Tze Yang remains a painter at heart, this show sees him breaking away from traditional frames to experiment with how we encounter art. He pushes the medium into uncharted territory, transforming paintings into kinetic sculptures on remote-controlled toy cars, stringing up canvases that mimic street banners, and crafting life-sized sculptures of half-eaten food.
Borrowing its title from Celine Dion’s iconic Titanic anthem, the exhibition is a cheeky yet sincere nod to the melodrama of paying attention to the things we would rather avoid. By framing these discarded objects through a lens of stubborn affection, Tze Yang turns art-making into an obsession with the unloved, offering a thoughtful ode to the absurdity, tragedy, and quiet beauty of the mundane.
