Isa Pengskul works across a range of media to challenge conventional models of thinking about nature, culture and the human/non-human dichotomy. Central to Isa’s concept-driven practice is the critical awareness of the human position—embedded within and constantly shaped by their surroundings.

During her undergraduate years Isa studied Philosophy and Studio Art at Vassar College, NY. As a Maguire Fellow, she completed her Master of Arts in Fine Arts at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. She is a recipient of the Winston Oh Award and has been nominated for the Takifuji Award.
