McNally School of Fine Arts

McNally School of Fine Arts

Awaken your artistic potential and develop your critical rigour.

The McNally School of Fine Arts is focused on redefining the milieu of artistic research dedicated to Southeast Asia, and our position in the world of contemporary art. From sculpture, printmaking, drawing, installation and photography to technology-based art, performance art, interdisciplinary art, as well as critical studies in art history and art theory, students are imbued with an innovative and interdisciplinary structure, designed to provide them with a transformative learning experience that awakens artistic potential and develops critical rigour. This is bolstered by the mutual interaction between the School’s different programmes, which creates a dynamic environment that foments a symbiosis of theory and practice.

Where Worlds Collide

LASALLE's Year 1 BA (Hons) Fine Arts cohort comprises a kaleidoscope of diverse students, each unique and distinct. Despite their differences, they have managed to grow and bond – their individual practices merging and melding to influence each other in novels ways.

The exhibition mixes a variety of media, explored in unconventional ways and explorative visual effects and rich conceptual depth. The works capture the tenacity of the students' spirit, creative fervour of their first semester and their burning desire to create and destroy – as all artists do.
