If you have ever wondered what a world with dinosaurs would look like, Eugene Foo has a story to tell. This is a place where humans and dinosaurs play, eat and work together. It is where we navigate the joys and sorrows of life. It is also where we make friends, form alliances and realise that it can sometimes be a harsh world out there.

In Saya Seekor Dinosaur, which is Foo’s first solo art exhibition, he taps into childhood love for dinosaurs and brings these beloved creatures to life in a series of artworks that merges the fantastical with the familiar.
