Thoughts on Paint and Canvas

2020

Thoughts on Paint and Canvas is a collaborative project with artist Jane Lee which traces her early experiments with paint that traverse the domains of installation and sculpture. Featuring miniature study pieces exploring the materiality of paint and canvas that she created from 2002-2017, they are accompanied by the artist's notes that highlight her developments at different stages of her practice.

A luxurious burgundy leather jacket with the title set in gold lends an elegant tone for the retrospective’s spare but contemporary layout, comprised of full-bleed pages and spreads. Presented like an artist's sketchbook, it also provides us a glimpse into Lee's processes which have led to the realisation of her signature large-scaled works.

This limited edition artist book is produced in conjunction with the exhibition Reformations: Painting in Post 2000 Singapore Art at the ADM Gallery, 18 Jan – 16 April 2019.
