Malaysia Puppetry - Monoprint

MALAYSIA PUPPETRY

Relief Print & Cut Board

MALAYSIA PUPPETRY is a collection of Loo Foh Sang's Prints from period of 1990s.

Coming from Malaysia's rich culture, puppetry is a form of traditional shadow figure that is used to depict and tells stories passed down from time. 

"During the stage of creation, the use of materials can be diverse, depending on the artist's creative ideas and intended effects. This technique requires placing the materials and intaglio paper board onto a monoprint plate, fully allows the artist to create printing layouts according to their ideas, achieving the best visual effect."
~ Loo Foh Sang

About Loo Foh Sang

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.
