Haridas Contemporary is excited to announce our exclusive representation of emerging Singapore artist Lucas Tan (b. 2000).

Lucas Tan is a painter whose practice centres primarily within figuration capturing fleeting moments of privacy, intimacy and desire drawn from everyday life. Compositionally informed by audiovisual and textual literature, Tan directs a sense of yearning into his works that hold space for uncertainty and speculation. Something once felt or imagined, held just out of reach.

Tan holds a Bachelors in Fine Arts (First Class Honours) from Goldsmiths, University of London as conferred by LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. Notably, his work has been exhibited in Haridas Contemporary, Singapore; Richard Koh Fine Art, Singapore; Clifford Chance, Singapore; Alliance Française de Singapour, Singapore; and starch, Singapore.

We just turned ONE! Thank you to everyone who helped us reach this milestone. It goes without saying that starting a business is never easy, let alone an art gallery in Singapore. The support we received over the past year has been truly humbling. For this, we are immensely grateful and would like to thank the following people who have been essential to our journey.

To all the artists who have entrusted us with their artworks and presentation in our humble-sized gallery. For allowing us into your studios and homes, and to meet your family members. Special thanks to the neighbors who graciously ‘endured’ the corridor viewings due to space constrains. Yes, HDB corridor viewings are a thing!

To all the writers and suppliers for their skills and services rendered. Your words and care have provided valuable insights into the artists’ practice.

To collectors and friends who have supported the gallery in various ways. Thank you for your every like, acquisition, follow, visit, recommendation, share, and feedback. Your support has enabled a young gallery to flourish and emerging practices to be discovered.

To date, we have organized seven exhibitions including five solo exhibitions by Singapore-based artists, of which we are immensely proud. Whatever growth or challenges that might arise in the next year, we remain motivated and excited about the future. And to share our excitement, we would like to take this opportunity to announce – Haridas Contemporary will make its debut in the art fair circuit at ART SG 2025 – Futures sector.

Always moving forward, together.
