Loo honed his printmaking skills in 1967 under Stanley William Hayter, widely recognised as the 'Father of Contemporary Printmaking', and was also the founder of the renowned printmaking workshop, Atelier 17, in Paris.
For over 50 years, he has dedicated himself to developing the language of his art and to addressing certain limitations of traditional print methods. His passion for innovation has led to exciting new monoprinting techniques that are able to convey arresting images in multiple colours. And because they are monoprints, no multiple plates are needed and he is free to create large, multicoloured artworks. Loo enjoys depicting fantasy and beguiling compositions which he further fuses in a mist of colours.
Known as the Father of Malaysian Printmaking, Loo has had an expansive and remarkable career spanning five decades and counting. His works are collected by museums all over Europe and Asia including the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, Bibliotheque Royale de Belgique,
