Born in Singapore in 1961, Theseus Chan is a graphic designer and artist with a passion for printing materials and techniques and an unconventional approach to typography and design. Chan incorporates all kinds of paper in his work—from the cheapest, even rejected sheets, to the most luxurious—and transforms them through experimental combinations of offset printing, silkscreen, lithography and acrylic inkjet. Chan re-invents the graphic and printed identity of his acclaimed magazine WERK from issue to issue, and has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, photographers and designers including Keiichi Tanaami, Rose Wylie, Comme des Garçons and Costume National. He was Designer of the Year at the inaugural President’s Design Award Singapore in 2006.
