A multi-disciplinary artist and designer, Jon Tan’s relaxed persona, keen sense of colour, and boyish charm is reflected in his body of work that include illustrations, graphics and animations. The 25-year-old who looks up to Sean Brown and Philip T. as role models has done projects with New Balance, worked on exhibitions in New York, and is constantly creating projects to hone his craft.

“Saving up for a ‘No Rules’ denim t-shirt, where its graphics amazed the five-year-old me, was probably my first foray into fashion.”

HIGH POINT

My proudest project to date is definitely my latest one where I worked on animated visualisers for “One Musicfest” in Atlanta for Kendrick Lamar, Janet Jackson and Megan Thee Stallion. This is a huge honour for me, and for my work to be recognised at this level.”

“I have quite an extensive sneaker collection, but my favourite is my Stüssy Cherry Nike dunks from 2005. The colour combination was inspired by Neapolitan ice cream, along with the cherry detail on the tongue. They don’t do it like that anymore.”

ONE FOR LIFE

“Jacquemus is a brand that I go, ‘Wow,’ every time something drops. The world that Simon Porte Jacquemus has built is one I would love to live in—everything it represents is more than clothes. It is a feeling of surrealistic joy; it is larger than life.”

TIME TREASURE

“The most treasured piece in my wardrobe is my first watch purchase ever: a Must de Cartier Tank. I just thought it was a beautiful piece and wanted it for the longest time. After a few milestone projects, I finally got it.”

SURREAL LIFE

“If I were an art movement, I’d be Surrealism. My favourite is Réné Magritte, whose paintings spark conversations about reality and representation. I love how he puts almost like a remix to everyday things, challenging me to view things differently.”

“I would love to have a meal with Tyler, the Creator for sure. His creative journey has always been multi-hyphenate in nature, and I would pick his brain on how he manages to merge his ideas so seamlessly and coherently. On top of that, he is hilarious. I feel like we would get along.”

DREAM WORKS

“To see my work in the fashion world would be a dream. The cultural movement at Louis Vuitton and what they did with illustrations and animations under Virgil Abloh’s direction, and their fall/winter 2023 menswear collection with KidSuper has inspired me to constantly bridge worlds I enjoy.”
