Arctic Dreams (Divine Awakening) • Acrylic on timber, 100cm dia, 2019. • I started this painting last year and finally finished it last night. There is something paralysing about working with pristine white base. It creates a fear of fucking up. I deliberated for so long before putting the first stroke of purple onto the snowy peaks. This is ironic because I was always telling people I wasn’t precious about my work. I am glad I overcame the mental block, trusted my inner voice and painted on! • #jaustar #myworks #acrylicpainting #modernmandala #mandalaart #arctic #divine #awakening #wisdom #abstractart #artgram #instaartist #texture #purple #green #iridescent #cosmic #ethereal #angelicenergy #trustyourinnervoice https://www.instagram.com/p/BtR5vSQBenQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=820l5y92a9w3

Everyone needs two of @tartelin’s “Cats and Beers” so they can take a complete pic of its cover 😬 So excited to receive these in the mail. The illustrations are exquisite. Perhaps from now on, any cat lover friend of mine is receiving this as birthday or Xmas pressie ;) This is how much I love this book and my friends! #tartelin #catsandbeer #illustration #bookstagram #artgram https://www.instagram.com/p/Br2iC36BhMv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1km7buuy0uk4a

Blossoms Daydreams, mixed media (washi tape, pencil) on timber, 30 x 20cm, 2018.

Dots and Lines, some initial sketches. When I buy art materials I tend to buy in large batches, in other words I tend to lose control. I have many timber panels lying around and I recently bought a whole lot of pretty dot stickers. A little voice in my head told me excitedly we’re gonna make art with these! 🤔 We shall see... So I began with random circles and then I made arbitrary rules about how lines should intersect and where I’d place the dots. It was interesting to see what orderly chaos came out of this experiment. More to come. #jaustar #myworks #random #rules #wip #processes #stickers #dots #lines #circles #intersection #havefun https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVIA4_hbhw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=el2fu2wcck9j

It was lovely to receive photos from my client who bought my work from Saatchi Art online. The framing and styling are so on point. Feel so lucky that my work has found a great home. Thank you for sharing the photos with me. #jaustar #myworks #jaustartravelstheworld #abstractart #geometricart #modernmandala #mandalaart #interiordesign #styling #artgram #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp19q9UhLOt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4rgila4e6an

What I got up to on the first day of #streetsuperior2018. Live painting session. The actual footage was 2 hours long. Some might say that my process is now demystified! Well this is just one way I paint ;) #jaustar #myworks #acrylicpainting #takelahtakelah #livepainting #timelapse #artgram #abstractart #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BpgkzDkBR9O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19trndinxl5bm

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat about my art installation. Grateful for your curiosity and for stepping into my cage and asking “What’s this about?” Hope you liked your souvenirs, whether it was a postcard, photo or just memories of the experience. Till we meet again, stay curious. #jaustar #myworks #takelahtakelah #streetsuperior2018 #artinstallation #interactiveart #souvenir #memories https://www.instagram.com/p/BpgJeB4hEey/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=78rn9fpd2c9y

YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE! THANK YOU @street.superior @one11studio for inviting me to be part of the festival. I had a bit of fun with @montanacans spray paints that I got from @krafersparadise. Gotta up my tag game though, such a noob I am! #streetsuperior2018 #takelahtakelah #toolate #theend #jaustar #artgram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpe7uAnBFrQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u8imx533wc9p

It was an interesting day at #streetsuperior2018 today! Quite a number of people weren’t sure if they could really take a piece of artwork from the installation. Hopefully this will get the message across ;) #takelahtakelah #jaustar #trytobefunny #singlish #freeart #artgram https://www.instagram.com/p/BpcJhJShN-o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u1p77gcyvktk

JAU says “Take lah, take lah!” A closer look at the 99 panels. 99 painted postcards to be given away! What would you choose? Instant gratification of taking a postcard immediately or would your need to gram the art installation be greater? There’s also a chance of winning a bigger painting if you chose to gram it! Decisions, decisions! #jaustar #takelahtakelah #artistsoninstagram #99 #giveaway #impermanentart #transientart #acrylicpainting #artgram #streetart #streetsuperior2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVFyFFHI2P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=di2howg3kk0s

Jau Goh returns with another interactive installation. Following the theft of piece of her artwork, #091 from her installation Midnight Gold Star Project #001 - #099, Jau responded with an installation filled with 99 copies of #091, inviting the audience to simply “takelah”. For Street Superior Festival, Jau wants people to take a piece of her work home with them. There will once again be an installation of 99 pieces of work, however this time, they will all be original paintings. Street art is impermanent, transient and not precious. It is the artist’s self-expression and gift to the public. It is in this spirit that Jau is giving away her art. However, there is a slight twist to this giveaway – you can either choose to take a piece of work OR take a photo of the installation and share it on Instagram with #takelahtakelah (gotta ‘gram it) for a chance to win a larger painting that Jau will be painting live at Street Superior Festival. It would be interesting to observe how people deal with ‘rules’, ‘instant gratification’ and ‘chance’. #jaustar #artconcept #installationart #interactiveart #streetsuperior2018 #takelahtakelah #freeart #streetart #impermanent #transientart #artgram #myworks #99 #giveaway https://www.instagram.com/p/BpT2VlunRsj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kxyql6qysssa

Jau, the unlikely perfectionist. My work used to be sloppy and messy when I was an architecture student. Somewhere along the way I developed my OCD! #wip #modernmandala #jaustar #myworks #perfectionist #process #takelahtakelah #acrylicpainting #artgram #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNQ3n7nPdQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11m18lv0mthpo
