"Light is just a medium that I fell in love with. It’s one of those elements that can pair with anything, from sound to movement or material structures,” says Jun Ong, light artist and co-founder of KL-based spatial design studio, POW Ideas. Over the last decade, Ong has made a name for himself in the world of installation art, drawing from his architectural background and fascination for light and space. “When I first started creating light installations, it was a lonely experience because there was no one to look up to. I took a leap of faith, and today, I’m happy that I did.”
Ong has shown at major art festivals, including the Taiwan Lantern Festival (2023), Art SG (2023), Art Central Hong Kong (2018) and iLight Marina Bay Singapore (2016, 2023). In 2016, his five-storey light installation, Star (2015), was nominated for World’s Best in Spatial Art at the Media Architecture Biennale in Sydney. Ong has also created custom light installations for brands like Adidas, Nike, The Hour Glass, Gucci, PUBG and Philips Lighting.
Krystal Valley (2024) is Ong’s latest exhibition, currently on display at the National Art Gallery until November 11, 2024. It marks an intriguing departure from his earlier cosmic creations. Krystal Valley is an immersive installation that draws inspiration from geology, specifically minerals and crystals. Visitors navigate through a canyon-like structure, exploring glowing gem-inspired sculptures.
