작품 상세

A group of mangosteens and jambu air are casually placed on a table surface, adding to a relaxed ambience. The artist uses subtle light to enhance the still life arrangement, highlighting the masses and contours of the fruits. The interplay between light and shadow is exceptionally pleasing to the eye of the viewer. 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 Southeast 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 exhibition titled Harvest was held at Pinkguy Gallery in March 2022.
