Light to Night aims to diversify our regional collaborations by commissioning Southeast Asia illustrators and designers to design exclusive festival merchandise. These collaborations reflect the range of Southeast Asian art collection in the National Gallery. Each selected illustrator or designer drew inspiration from an artwork of their choice to inform their creative designs, producing unique merchandise items that can be won in exclusive giveaways.
Reza Hasni is a Singapore-born, Berlin-based motion graphics artist and illustrator. Influenced by patterns of sacred geometry, along with the influences of 90s Internet pop and club culture, Reza’s practice feeds into collaborations in music, installation, augmented reality and fashion around Europe and Asia. These additional mediums add layers of interactivity to his work, allowing immersive experiences for audiences both virtually and physically. His first solo exhibition, Mystic Island, launched at UltraSuperNew Singapore in 2017. In 2020, Reza and collaborators launched ‘Centre for Altered Togetherness’, a second solo cyber exhibition that travelled to mihn gallery Hong Kong for a showcase in 2021. His work has been featured on 'It’s Nice That', Vice, The Straits Times, Adobo Magazine and more.
