RED
Yan Wei Lau
“To Disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed“
The critique on Religion, Ethics and Death. The vigilante dubbed, “The RED Ghost”, seeks retribution for the murder of his lover’s child through the means of violence, but when his Catholic guilt and morals conflict, all hell breaks loose. Navigating his way through a crime-ridden alternate version of Singapore, RED must find a way to fight his inner demons before it consumes him, turning him into the very thing he sought to get rid of, a monster. Will he listen to the angel on his shoulder? Or let the devil out?

About the artist
Yan (b. 1998, Singapore) bases his artistic practice around the critique of ethics within religion, while diving deep into the study of the human condition, questioning morality, and pushing the boundaries of normality.
Mainly using inks, he aims to “Comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable” with illustrations and imagery that haunt.
