Language Acquisition and Material Mastery in the Development of Chng Nai Wee
July 2001 at ippreciation DP Space Gallery, Singapore
Techtonics, a collection of early works by Chng Nai Wee,
demonstrates the process of language acquisition and material mastery in the
development of the artist. These works clearly relate his attempts to infuse raw
technological imagery and metallic paints in his vocabulary, to preserve the
imprints of his art-making process, and to suggest a passing of time. The weight
and construction of the works emphasise the strength and vitality of the artist
in his youth.
