To: You – An Ink on Note Exhibition by Siaw Tao

This August, our Society proudly presents “To: You, an ink on note exhibition”, an exhibition of works on notepaper. “To: You” follows up on our forays into traditional miniature formats; past exhibitions included paintings on Chinese fans.

What are “notepapers”?
Notepapers were used in ancient times for letter writing, measuring 3-4 inches – about the size of an envelope today. Besides being a way to showcase calligraphy and painting, it also contains rich literary contents; even the paper itself is exquisite.

This exhibition will take notepapers as a medium for the presentation of calligraphy, ink painting, and seal carving and our members’ heartfelt expressions, putting a spin on this ancient method of communication. All are welcome!
