Description:...

Cheong Soo Pieng: Layer by Layer presents a unique insight into the artist’s innovative use of materials in painting through examples from the 1940s to 1980s.

This exhibition catalogue features artwork plates presented alongside technical photographs that illuminate Cheong’s artistic process and choice of materials. Accompanied by essays that explore the intersections between conservation science and art historical research, it poses the question: what makes a painting?
