A2Z Art Gallery Debuts Jono Toh’s 'Thinking Out Loud'
The fashion-designer-turned-artist uses bold shapes to turn personal memories and emotions into visual form.
Summary
- ‘Thinking Out Loud’ is Toh’s most focused and confident abstract work to date
- The show marks a major career jump, backed by strong collector interest and a recent Louis Vuitton Paris acquisition
After working in fashion across New York, Hong Kong and Sydney, Jono Toh has shifted his focus to painting. His work explores the space between conscious thought and intuition, using bold shapes to translate personal memories and emotions into visual form. Thinking Out Loud, his new exhibition at A2Z Art Gallery makes that internal process visible through a series of clear, graphic compositions.
“These visual expressions move through the uncertainties of my life with clarity and optimism,” he said in a press release. “They invite the viewer into a space where thought becomes visible, and where light still persists, even in uncertainty.”
The show marks a fast rise for Toh. In 2022, he presented five works in a group exhibition at A2Z. Three years later, he returns to take over the full gallery for his first solo show in Paris. His work has gained steady attention from collectors and Louis Vuitton Paris recently acquired a piece for an upcoming boutique concept. He has also mounted solo exhibitions in Hong Kong (You Tell Me, 2023) and Istanbul (Once Upon That Time, 2024).
Thinking Out Loud is on view until December 6.
