Paintings with Acid
Until 21February, SingaporeTyler Print
Institute (STPI) will present
Imprint:
New Works by Suzann Victor
,
a showcase of the Sydney-based
Singaporean artist’s creations in print
methodsthatchallengeandgobeyond
the boundaries of print and paper. In a
departure from her customary use of
theatricaldevices,kineticmechanisms,
performance installations and object
experimentations with the body,
Suzann instead takes an abstract
approach to etchings, or “paintings
with acid”, while décollages capture
her gestures and body movements
atop large bodies of paper pulp
that have been gradually torn away.
See it at STPI, 41 Robertson Quay.
