In 2009, Choo was awarded the International Print Artist-In- Residence at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, picked from over 150 global submissions. The six-month residency enabled Choo to pursue her interest in the metaphysical and paranormal through her art practice.

In 2010, Choo was commissioned by the FT and RBS Coutts for their annual ‘Women In Asia Awards’ to produce three pieces of original art to be given as the awards.

Choo’s art has consistently had a focus on humanity and our relationship with the planet. Our behaviour towards each other, current social issues and our attitude towards the natural environment inspire the visual commentary that make up the body of her work.

Choo has had an increasing interest in the world we cannot see. Turning to science for answers, she finds the theories of quantum physics both astonishing and inspiring, and looks forward to producing art that effectively combines ideas of science with spirituality, expressed through work that fuses new technology with traditional medium.

Mona Choo has exhibited in the US, including New York, as well as London, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Singapore. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Singapore Art Museum, as well as in a number of private collections, including the United Overseas Bank of Singapore, Leo Burnett, and personal collections in the UK, Switzerland, Australia, the US and Asia.

She is hugely inspired in particular, by Mimmo Paladino, Antoni Tapies, Enzo Cucci, Francesco Clemente, Max Neumann, Japanese printmaking and textile designs, traditional Chinese painting, and printmaking in general. … Read More
