The Artist Speaks: Chua Ek Kay

One of Singapores most prominent ink practitioners, Chua Ek Kay innovated Chinese ink painting with an inimitably understated perspective and a spare elegance. His paintings, from iconic scenes of Singapores ever-changing streets to abstract representations of nature, were informed by a lifetime of tireless study and rumination. The products of this process take centre stage in this title, which explores Chuas artistic vision through never before published writings and sketches, shedding new light on his life and practice.

The Artist Speaks series presents an intimate look at artists through their words and works, tracing the ideas, influences and experiencesas told by artists themselvesthat constitute a vision.
