Samuel Xun
A Token of No One’s Appreciation!, 2025

Samuel Xun is an interdisciplinary object-centric artist based in Singapore. His practice is centred around the exploration of queer identity, self-therapy, and introspection through sculpture, context-based installation, and textile composition. His works delve into the complex interplay of emotionality, cognisance, and aesthesis, often through the examination of cultural and personal symbols, frequently inspired by film, cultural milieus, and personal narratives.

Samuel’s oeuvre focuses on the intricacies of self-discovery, individuality, and the complexities of the human psyche. Positing the use of colour, texture, and text as a means of conveying humanistic resolutions to societal discourse, Samuel’s works endeavour to solicit introspection and contemplation of the spectator’s social condition, and question their motivations towards personal resolution. With a sophisticated and nuanced approach to materials and subject matter, Samuel invites us to re-evaluate the narratives we construct for ourselves and the impact they have on our world view.
