skandl 's review for:
The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye
by Sonny Liew
I feel like this book entered my life at the perfect time. Thoughtful, humanistic telling of the story of expression, social and racial dynamics of multi-cultural, multi-colonized Singapore. The struggle of outspoken people (and individuals) to stand up to dominating totalitarianism.
Made more powerful through the images, not just in style but in graphic design to layout, presentation and of course amazing sequential art.
And finally diving into the mind of Charlie Chan also gives a glimpse of into an artists strategy in conveying meaningful commentary in sly or sometimes overt ways in work, especially work with social and political commentary. Which is quite relevant these days.
