About the exhibition

Showcasing over 50 new acquisitions and other ink artworks from Singapore & Southeast Asia, this exhibition explores the fluid and evolving nature of ink art, tracing its transformations across different generations, geographies, and artistic dialogues. Moving beyond conventional narratives, the exhibition examines how ink—deeply rooted in tradition—continues to be reinterpreted, exchanged, and expanded in meaning.
