Chng Seok Tin 荘心珍 (1946–2019) trained as a printmaker from 1976 to 1985 and has become synonymous with the medium of print in Singapore. Despite the loss of clear vision due to an accident in 1988, she continually devised innovative strategies in print, sculpture and installation to further her practice.
Drawn Through a Press highlights Chng Seok Tin's work as a printmaker, as well as the rigour, playfulness and insight that characterised her art. The exhibition is organised according to Chng's formative concerns from the 1970s to 1990s. It brings together key print works and selected installations, seeking to show how she also incorporated her longstanding interest in literary culture and history into her artistic practice.
