작품 상세

A bunch of rose apple guava is placed on the table against a dark background. The artist uses subtle light that appeared in the corner just enough to enlighten the whole scene thus giving a romantic feel to the piece. The balance between light and shadow is exceptionally pleasing to the eye of viewers. This Selangor born painter is a devoted traveller. He received his art education in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore. In 2000, he travelled to Sarawak whilst being impressed by the cultural diversity and Indigenous people of Sarawak. Living nomadly inspired him to do people’s portraits as a subject matter. In 2009, he had a touring show titled The Differing Faces of South East Asia — Touring Exhibition of Chia Hoy Sai’s Artworks which started its journey at SGM Culture Centres in Klang, throughout the east coast, north continents and Kuala Lumpur. The artist's latest exhibition was held at Pinkguy Gallery in March 2022 titled Harvest, featuring his early works of tropical fruits and recent works of portraits of men and women in traditional attires.
