Eng Tow (Chinese: 杜瑛; pinyin: Dù Yīng, born 1 October 1947) is a Singaporean contemporary artist best known for her use of cloth as medium in her art, creating textile paintings or methodically constructed "cloth reliefs". Tow’s practice further spans a range of media, including cast and collaged paperworks, abstract paintings, and sculpture. Her works often take from her environments and a deep connection with nature to express notions of metaphysical beauty. Coming into prominence in 1980s Singapore, Tow has exhibited both locally and overseas.
