street art mentor: traseone
As an activist in the local street art
movement, TraseOne is regarded as a
leading pioneer who is always pushing
boundaries ever since he started in
1999. What began as an ego-driven
adolescent hobby of just scrawling
his name on the streets, Trase has
evolved his approach to create a more
intellectual dialogue of his art, most
of which contain subliminal messages
cleverly embedded.
A self-taught graffiti artist, Trase
was granted the inaugural Goh Chok
Tong Youth Promise Award in 2005 to
expand his knowledge in art, eventually
graduating with an Honours Degree
in 2007. Trase has since had his work
exhibited in numerous commissioned
projects and exhibitions all over the
world, winning numerous awards for
his perpetually evolving style.
