Mohammad Din Mohammad

This insightful exploration of six artists reveals how Mohammad Din Mohammad showcases their innovative practices in post-independence Singapore, reflecting on multiculturalism and modernisation.

The book Mohammad Din Mohammad delves into the artistic landscape of post-independence Singapore through the lens of six influential artists. It presents a series of six catalogues that examine how these pioneers have pushed the boundaries of art through innovative practices. From collage and printmaking to installation and digital art, each artist's journey is highlighted, showcasing their commitment to continuously evolving and redefining what it means to create art in a multicultural society.

Each catalogue stands alone yet contributes to a broader narrative, exploring the individual paths of these artists as they navigate the complexities of their environment. The series is enriched with essays, interviews, and vibrant full-colour plates that bring their stories to life. By examining the interplay between art and the socio-political conditions of Singapore, Mohammad Din Mohammad offers readers a deeper understanding of how these artists have critically engaged with themes of multiculturalism, developmentalism, and modernisation.

Accompanying an exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore, this collection not only serves as an academic resource but also as a celebration of the diverse artistic expressions that have emerged in the wake of independence. It invites readers to reflect on the significance of these artists and their contributions to the ongoing dialogue about identity and creativity in contemporary Singaporean art.
