Zearo

Zearo is a Malaysian artist based in London who has recently finished his MA degree in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art. His practice takes on an autobiographical perspective to explore his relationship to the male figure.

Influenced by his Southeast Asian background where same-sex desires are obscured, he centres on lived experience by exploring ideas of longing, memory, desire, male gaze, and masculinity through the medium of oil paint and pastel. Through this direction, he attempts to create a space where the same-sex figures are approachable, a space where the care and the secrecy are being represented.
