작품 상세

A multidisciplinary artist, Chuah Seow Keng is recognised for his adept handling of diverse media, including batik, watercolour, and fibreglass. In this work, a tranquil village scene is complemented by a prominent circular form, creating an imaginative composition that invites the imagination to roam freely. Penang-based Chuah Seow Keng follows in the footsteps of his father, Dato' Chuah Thean Teng to pursue his career as an artist. Seow Keng was awarded a scholarship to study at the Suddeutsche Kunststoff Zentrum in Wurzburg, Germany in 1968, specialising in fiberglass sculpture. Between 1970 and 1972, he presented three fiberglass sculptures commissioned by Malaysia Singapore Airlines (M.S.A) and Bank Negara Malaysia. His other accomplishments included the selection of two of his paintings entitled Fish and Rural Life for UNICEF's greeting cards in 1988 and again in 1992 for his paintings Fish (watercolour) and Sunrise. In 1989, he was awarded with a Certificate of Excellence for Outstanding Achievement at the Artitudes 7th International Art Competition, New York, USA.
