작품 상세

Devoted to the theme of landscape and nature, Yow Chork presents his observations of the Perdana Botanical Lake Garden in KL captured with a sense of immediacy. Painted in the impressionist style, the scene is created with an earthy rustic palette and delicate brushwork reminiscent of a daydream. Glimmers of light is seen through the trees, while the overlapping shadows on the ground are modelled with loose strokes. 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 Arts, Singapore. Some of 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).
