Jonathan Leong (b 25th Aug 1983) is a Singapore-based practitioner of visual kung-fu and creative mayhem. His practice is informed by an avid interest in fantasy, digitalism, science fiction, popular culture and contemporary mythology. He works in various mediums such as drawing, painting, video, computer graphics and sculpture.

Growing up in the 1980s amidst a pre-internet society on the brink of total digitalization, Jonathan has always been fascinated by the concept of virtual identities and fictional realities.

In 2004 Jonthan created an alter-ego identity named “zxerokool” as an alt-persona experiment to explore the concept of becoming a fictional intergalactic ninja on the Internet. Zxerokool had worked on visual art projects for MTV, Tiger Beer, Feiyue, Nike and New Balance.

Jonathan continues to experiment with various approaches to making art and enjoys exploring the moments in-between dreams and reality.
