Through character, narrative and composition, visionary artist Chua Mia Tee goes beyond mere representation to construct iconic images of Singapore’s changing landscapes and its inhabitants. Chua’s writings, collected for the first time in this catalogue alongside full-coloured plates and curatorial essays, lend insight to a prolific artistic practice beginning in the 1950s. One of Singapore’s most acclaimed artists, Chua was conferred the Cultural Medallion award in 2015.
