Jahan Loh
Born in 1976, Jahan Loh (羅傑瀚) forayed into street art in the early ’90s. Since then, his aesthetics have evolved into an amalgamation of street and contemporary art. From neo-pop girls to intergalactic heroes, cape crusaders to dragon chasers, Jahan Loh’s world of graphic marvels is replete with popular imagery, acid-washed dreamscapes and cryptic word play. An artist of many labels, an agent of counter culture, Loh’s visual language places him at the cultural crosshairs of the east and west, and of fine art and street art. Jahan was also one of eight Singapore street artists selected for 8Q-RATE, the opening exhibition of Singapore’s 8Q museum in 2008.
