작품 상세

A glorious example of Eng Tay's iconic trio of musicians executed through the medium of etching. Using a palette of predominantly warm colours, the work depicts three figures performing in harmony surrounded by nature. While the music is being played, their bodies move along in unison with the mellifluous melody. Scenes like these are filled with warmth and delight, exuding a sense of calm on the viewer. New York-based Eng Tay studied at the Art Students League (1968-1972) and the School of Visual Arts, both in New York. He had nearly 100 solos in Asia, Europe and the United States. He worked as a graphic designer for the Red Book magazine until 1978 when he decided to go fulltime. He was given a Retrospective by Galeri Petronas in 2009, titled Eng Tay: The Exhibition. His works are in the collection of the Fukuyama Museum of Art, Hiroshima, in Japan; the Taipei Fine Art Museum in Taiwan; the Frankie Valli Estate, the Merv Griffin Estate and the New York University. He has monumental sculptures in Kiaraville and Seni condominiums in Mont Kiara, Zehn Bukit Pantai in Bangsar, and the Marc Residences near KLCC.
