Inspired by their research into personality types, Paradise Now creates a series of 8 works based on their interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator’s 16 personality types, 8 functional stacks and archetypes.

In their bid to understand and be understood, they are intrigued by the formation of personalities, as well as their influence over an individual and subsequently collective existence. This series of works sees them explore the multiple facets that contribute to one’s personality, investigating its involvement in their creative process from conceptualisation to production.

Approaching the creation of this series as a project, this showcase becomes an essential foundation for discovering and understanding their dynamics as a creative duo.

Formed in 2020, Paradise Now is a Multimedia Artist Collective (Bryan Tan, Jay Ho) whose artworks assimilate a diversity of daily influences drawn from perception through observation.

With a penchant for amalgamating incompatible elements, Paradise Now grows as a natural synergy of conflicting histories and personal experiences - they seek to explore the notion of space/mental space, memories, emotions, symbolism and metaphors through multidisciplinary approaches.

Paradise Now is a repository for their thoughts and memories that would otherwise fade away with the business of daily living.
