Summary

  • Jahan Loh has unveiled The Fortune Trilogy, a new solo exhibition curated by artceo at Singapore’s Tanjong Pagar Distripark
  • The show reinterprets the traditional Chinese trinity of Fu Lu Shou (Blessing, Prosperity, and Longevity) through monumental astronaut sculptures
  • Exclusive merchandise accompanies the exhibition, including a bespoke Incense Chamber by Kuumba and gold jewelry by Point Joaillerie

Singaporean artist Jahan Loh has officially opened The Fortune Trilogy, a genre-bending exhibition that transports ancient Chinese iconography into a chrome-laden future. Launching today, February 13, at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, the show serves as a cosmic invocation of renewal just in time for the Lunar New Year, reimagining the enduring symbols of Fu Lu Shou—the deities of blessing, prosperity, and longevity—as interstellar emissaries.

Anchored by three monumental astronaut sculptures, the exhibition releases these traditional figures from domestic altars, recasting them as travelers of memory and migration. Loh’s signature space-age vernacular transforms the deities’ ceremonial robes into futuristic spacesuits, presenting them as “radiant and weighty” figures drifting toward the future. The mirrored, hand-finished surfaces of the sculptures reject the cold precision of technological conquest, instead favoring a mythic quality that speaks to cultural survival and diasporic passage.

The show functions not just as a visual spectacle but as a modern ritual. By positioning the astronaut—Loh’s long-standing alter ego—as a vessel for divinity, The Fortune Trilogy suggests that fortune is no longer earthbound but migratory, carried across orbits and borders.

Beyond the sculptures, the exhibition features a curated lineup of exclusive merchandise. Highlights include a bespoke Incense Chamber and “Celestial Fortune” incense developed with Japanese lifestyle brand Kuumba, alongside exhibition-only gold jewelry crafted by Point Joaillerie.

The Fortune Trilogy is open to the public starting February 13, 2026, at 39 Keppel Road, Unit 02-01E, Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore.
