작품 상세

Illustrated here is an alluring scene at a port jetty in Kuala Selangor River, a small coastal village known for recreation activities for nature lovers. Fung Yow Chork has skilfully captured calming jetty depot alongside a kampung house, and boats moored at the dockside. His use of vibrant palette — consisting of light blue for the sky, shades of brown for the wooden stilt depot and bright red and pastel yellow for the boats and green across the picture plane — create a picturesque view of an otherwise monotonous setting, a testament to his artistic flair. Fung Yow Chork is considered one of the finest impressionists in the country. At the age of 13, he was taught by a teacher who had studied impressionism in Japan. He befriended Professor Chung Pak Mook of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Art, Singapore. His solo exhibitions were held at The Art Gallery, Penang (1998), Rupa Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (1983), Australian High Commission, Kuala Lumpur (1982), Chin Woo Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (1981). He was awarded Second Prize, Merdeka Independence Trade Fair’s Art and Photographic Exhibition (1957).
