Jahan’s guide for art aficionados
Let local artist Jahan Loh show you around the heritage sites and progressive galleries where he draws inspiration
Jahan is famous as the man who turned a Ma Ling luncheon meat tin into pop art. As the first artist to bring street art to galleries in both Singapore and China, Jahan has been credited for taking Singapore Pop Art international. “In 2008, I gave up all my safety nets and did art full time,” says Jahan, a former lawyer. “I didn’t want to have regrets in my life. The first two years were tough, as there was no income.” He cites Singapore’s contrasting cultural landscape as one of the key influences on his passion: “In Singapore, we are exposed to a lot of different cultures so growing up, we develop that duality of East-meets-West very naturally.”
