The bright veneer of blue all over with a floating temple-like monument set in stripes are set against the undulating designs of various geometric shapes as ground. Loo Foh Sang had learnt well, and more, from the intricate techniques innovated by Atelier 17 when he studied there in Paris and was an apprentice to its founder, Sir Stanley William Hayter. After Hayter’s death in 1988, his main disciples, Hector Saunier and Juan Valladares, moved the experimental print workshop to another place under a new name, Atelier Centrepoint, but with all the original ideals intact. In recent years, Loo has also incorporated local themes like the wayang-kulit (shadow play) into his print repertoire. Like most graduates from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Art in Singapore (1973-1965), Loo continued his studies at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts and Atelier 17 in Paris, joining his girl friend turned wife there. He was instrumental in setting up printmaking workshops at the Malaysian Institute of Art and later the Central Academy of Art. One of the more outstanding printmaking exponents, Loo had also organised three international contemporary printmaking exhibitions since 1996. Since 1963, he had had 29 solos including those held at his gallery in Wisma Pauson, Puchong, Selangor. He has also taken part in more than 50 print exhibitions all over the world. He had been awarded the Asia-Pacific Art Golden Award 2009 and the Golden Brand Award 2010.
