Lee Kean Seng Solo Print Exhibition

The works of Lee Kian Seng from 77-78 comprised mainly of lithoprints which the artist is quite well known for.

"The making of lithographs in a tropical climate setting was no easy task. Nonetheless i set up a lithograph work studio in Malaysia in May 1977 and this exhibition showcase the creative process through which I experimented with this new medium..."

In 1977 I was doing my printmaking at the University of Wisconsin in Green Bay and my favourite was also Lithoprints, I was also doing etchings, Mezzotint, Monoprints and had produced more than I can remember the number of prints back then.
