Born in Singapore, 1988, Faris Nakamura graduated with Bachelor in Fine Arts (First Class Honours) from LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership with Goldsmiths, University of London in 2014. As a visual artist living in an urban cosmopolitan environment, Nakamura is constantly curious about the tectonics of space in relation to its functional uses and architectural design. He is interested to study the spaces of liberation and freedom as well as concealment and shame and how architecture plays a part in it. His artistic practice often refracts the layers of history, and their relationship to the wider socio-political environment.
Nakamura is the Finalist of the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, 2023 and the Winner of the IMPART Art Prize, 2020. He was awarded the Young Talent Programme Winners’ Solo, 2017/2018, the Grand Winner at the Shitsurai International Art Competition, Kobe Biennale, 2015 and the Winston Oh Travel Award, 2013.
Nakamura has exhibited in shows both locally and internationally. He has showcased at venues such as Richard Koh Fine Art (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre (Singapore), Gillman Barracks (Singapore), The Substation (Singapore), ION Art (Singapore), Facebook APAC HQ (Singapore), Georgetown Festival (Penang, Malaysia), Ku Bar (Bangkok, Thailand), FASS Art Gallery (Turkey), Kobe Biennale ( Japan), and Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi (Venice, Italy).
