Vernissage | Between Bloom and Becoming | Catherine Ong

​Arrival of Catherine Ong at ARTitude Galería

​An evening celebrating the arrival of Malaysia-based artist Catherine Ong and the beginning of her representation with ARTitude Galería.

​This vernissage marks the opening of her new exhibition, Between Bloom and Becoming, introducing Ong’s practice through a selection of her sculptural, textured works. Her visual language is shaped by movement, repetition, and tactile surfaces, developed over the past eighteen years through a multidisciplinary background in fashion, interior design, music, and culinary arts.

​Catherine Ong is the co-founder of Arkateori, a Kuala Lumpur–based texture art studio she established with her brother, Sean Ong. Through Arkateori, they explore the expressive and therapeutic potential of texture and repeated gestures — a practice that emerged during a period of personal grief, transforming art into a space of healing and reflection.

​As the artist describes:
“Texture art comprises unique forms of therapeutic movement with simple repeated motions… Art heals.”

​Guests will be invited to discover the works in an intimate setting, meet the artist, and gain deeper insight into the philosophy behind her practice.

​If you would like to receive the e-catalogue in advance and pre-reserve a work, please feel free to reach out.
