PLEASURE - Jer Dee

Jer Dee's second solo show embodies a minimalist departure from his customary approach. His fine lined illustrations on giclee prints subtly convey a subdued hedonist mood while their delicate application on multiple silk scarves, chiffon tapestry & fans greatly enhances the oeuvre.

"This project is an exploration of my relationship with intimacy. The concept of touch and how it translates to different mediums" -Jer Dee

"In this show I wanted to stretch the boundaries of my work. I explored how my illustrations translate to other mediums beyond print— silk cloths, a soft tufted rug, and on hand fans. Objects, which I now realise, likewise provoke the feeling of this collection’s theme: PLEASURE as both emotional and physical, both felt and perceived.

These works are personal to me, where I negotiate my own relationship with intimacy. It is a collection with a much more mature take on my illustration work, and distinct from the commercial practice many of you here are familiar with.

PLEASURE unveils something private and sacred, revealing a side to my own mind that I only share through sketches that no one really sees."

Sneak a peek at some of the pieces here online. But definitely best viewed in real life at our 2F gallery. Show runs til the 29th of March.
