Clasutta Explores the Dynamics of Love in Solo Exhibition at Whitestone Gallery Singapore

Clasutta, the young Indonesian artist known for her playful painting style, is currently presenting a solo exhibition at Whitestone Gallery Singapore titled Roommates?. Within the exhibition space, visitors encounter works rooted in Clasutta’s personal sphere, presented alongside a concurrent exhibition by Malaysian artist C.K. Koh. Together, the two presentations are framed under the curatorial narrative Through Reverie: Love and Memory – where memory emerges not as a complete story, but as fragments that stay behind.

Roommates? explores the emotional dynamics embedded within relationships – what begins as something lighthearted gradually evolves into a space shaped by attachment, expectation, and unspoken negotiation. Clasutta’s works trace these subtle shifts, revealing how intimacy is often formed through repetition and compromise.

In this solo presentation, love is not positioned as something fixed, but rather as something fluid – a shifting condition that can arrive, return, and at certain moments disappear altogether. Small gestures and misunderstandings construct structures that appear natural, despite being carefully maintained beneath the surface. What initially feels effortless slowly transforms into something that must be sustained – and endurance itself is not always a conscious decision, but sometimes simply a condition we continue to inhabit.

Clasutta’s works carry moments that feel deeply familiar yet remain difficult to fully grasp. Embedded within them is the suggestion that what we feel is often far more complex than it appears, and that even when circumstances change, there remains a part of ourselves that still chooses to stay.

Meanwhile, Folded Glimpses by C.K. Koh presents works drawn from the artist’s personal photographic archive, capturing fleeting moments suspended between observation and memory. Through the recurring figure of Box Boy, the works reflect on how memory continuously shifts, shaped by distance, time, and emotion. Together, both exhibitions exist within a state of reverie: a quiet in-between space where memory, longing, and emotion overlap. 

Centered around Clasutta’s exploration of emotional intimacy, this exhibition invites visitors to slow down and reflect on how experience and memory shape the ways we understand and navigate relationships.

Roommates? remains open to the public until June 28, 2026.
