Hans Tan is a author and educator hailing from Singapore. The artist's work transcends the boundaries of design, craft and art. The author believes that design not only "helps us do" something, but also "helps us understand" something. The work combines the usefulness of visual discourse with the development of materials and processes. What's inherent in Tan's work is the cultural heritage and the role that design plays in the context of its consumption. The pottery to be displayed in this exhibition stands out with a new technique devised by the artist. It allows viewers to read unprecedented transformation and disciplines of Singapore's history and how one can use masking and sandblasting techniques to create unique patterns in colored ceramics.
