Description:
Christine Ay Tjoe’s Satu Kelingking Manna (2001) is a rare early print by the Indonesian contemporary artist, created using the drypoint technique — a process that captures both the delicacy and the emotional intensity characteristic of her work. Executed in a small edition of only 14, the piece is hand-signed, dated, and titled by Ay Tjoe, showcasing her command of line, texture, and restraint.
The composition reveals Ay Tjoe’s distinctive sensitivity to human emotion and spirituality, rendered through a minimalist yet tactile graphic approach. Her mastery of etching and drypoint during this period laid the foundation for the gestural abstraction that would later define her paintings and mixed-media works.
As one of Southeast Asia’s most acclaimed artists, Christine Ay Tjoe explores the fragility and duality of human existence. Satu Kelingking Manna stands as an important early print that reflects the introspective and lyrical core of her artistic journey.
