PETALING JAYA: It is no surprise that printmaking art is having its moment in Malaysia. Since the pandemic hit last year, new art collectors on a budget are warming up to the various forms of printmaking, including woodcut, linocut, etching, embossing, lithograph, silkscreening and more.

After all, the local printmaking scene is pretty exciting, with our homegrown artists exploring themes such as environmentalism, politics, feminism and retro pop culture, to name a few.
