Yin Yang Collection
Engraving + Etching + Aquatint
YIN YANG
is a collection of Loo Foh Sang’s Prints from 1980 to 1985 during his Paris residence. He used the engraving, etching and aquatint printmaking techniques to bring out a balanced combination of western & eastern philosophies that expresses Yin & Yang. Also known as the feminine & masculine energies, Loo uses the black and white elements and twin kites imagery to bring out this chemistry.
All things carry “yin” and embrace “yang”.They reach harmony by blending with the vital breath.Laozi

For over 50 years, Loo Foh Sang has dedicated himself to developing the language of his art and to addressing certain limitations of traditional print methods. In the collection of works Loo Foh Sang developed in the Atelier, as evidenced in his late 1960s exhibition catalogue “Original Prints by Loo Foh Sang”, one can view a family of production emerging from working in the presence of S.W. Hayter. Hayter is known for his innovative work in the development of viscosity
printing (a process that exploits varying viscosities of oil-based inks in
laying three or more colours on a single intaglio plate). Following Hayter, who
termed this as “simultaneous printing” Loo Foh Sang continued to produce and
create innovative works.
