Sam Lo/ ‘SKL0’ (b. 1986) is a trans non-binary visual artist based in Singapore with humble beginnings as an urban artist. In their formative years, their intrigue with the concept of culture and bold execution in some of their earliest forays in street art dubbed them the "Sticker Lady", a nickname lovingly given by the city in reference to the saga that was birthed from their work in the streets. Since then, their practice has grown to be reflective of their personal journey and beliefs- a non-subscriber to traditional notions of a dedicated style, theme or visual language, they believe that the human psyche has multiple dimensions that make us complex, layered individuals which enable us to vastly explore and express a multitude of motivations in this shared human experience. As such, their works explore different themes across various mediums from large scale spray painted murals to delicately hand-sculpted sculptures, each tackling a different story through the artist’s lens. Selected shows include solo exhibitions Rising Change (Mandarin Gallery, Singapore 2019), The LIMPEH Show (The Substation, Singapore 2015), Greetings From Singapore (One East Asia Gallery, Singapore 2017) and "For Better, For Worse" (Pegasos5, Besser Space, Melbourne 2017). The artist has also showed and participated at showcases such as Art Central Hong Kong (Hong Kong, 2018), Singapore Art Week (Singapore, 2018), Melbourne Festival (Australia, 2017), Project Dreamcatchers at Singapore Art Museum (Singapore, 2016), Georgetown Festival (Penang, Malaysia 2014), Seoul Art Toy Culture Convention (Korea, 2014), Urbanscapes KL (Malaysia, 2012) and Affordable Art Fair (Singapore, 2013) to name a few. Sam was also one of the two artists chosen to embark on an artist residency in New Delhi to paint the Arjan Garh Metro Station, a large scale project with involvement from The Singapore High Commission, Singapore Tourism Board, ST+Art India Foundation and the Delhi Metro Railway Company. In 2017, Sam released a publication titled "Greetings From Singapore" documenting their work on the streets with Math Paper Press, which also highlighted the biggest road painting ever accomplished in Singapore. As a feminist and pro-LGBTQ individual, Sam also lends their voice to non-profit organisations and causes like Pink Dot, a movement that supports LGBTQ+ rights and AWARE Singapore, Singapore’s leading gender equality advocacy group. In 2019 they created an official graphic for Pink Dot’s 2019 edition titled ‘Standing Against Discrimination’ to help raise funds for the movement. They also donated an artwork which sold in a live auction to help raise funds to continue AWARE’s efforts in bridging the gender gap. On a commercial basis, Sam was commissioned to create permanent artwork in Nike's first flagship outlet in Southeast Asia. Sam has also released their first timepiece collaboration with Casio's G-SHOCK, a limited edition watch to commemorate Singapore's National Day. Other clients Sam has worked with include the Singapore Art Museum, Singapore Tourism Board, National Heritage Board, National Arts Council, Sentosa, Singapore Zoological Gardens, Air Asia, Netflix, Google, Bandlab, Samsung, Jaguar, Volkswagen, Adidas, Vans, Fred Perry, Funan, Shake Shack, 4 Fingers and Redbull, among others. Aside from visual art, one of their noteworthy projects is co-curating the art installation experience at Keepers Playground of Infinite Happiness at the National Design Centre which drew just under 50,000 visitors over just 2 weekends. Sam was also responsible for the wildly popular Block Party and Playcourt installations there which brought together the works of 34 homegrown artists.
