Printmaker Sabihis Md Pandi was five years old when the last major printmaking exhibition was held in Kuala Lumpur. It has taken 25 years for the next one to see the light of day.

The last comprehensive overview of the Malaysian printmaking scene, featuring its notable artists (from the 1950s to 1990s), was seen at the Communication Through Graphic Art Printmaking exhibition held at the old National Arts Gallery building in KL back in 1993.
