작품 상세

The fluttering of colourful transparent flags inscribed with Tibetan incantations and reflecting the rarefied landscapes are a soothing prayer of life, the beginning and the end. Most inspiring is the flickers of abstract highlights and patterns created by the changing seasons, filling the work with a monumental and magical ring. This masterpiece is part of Chang Fee Ming’s epic three-year Mekong Exploring The Source art-chaelogy expedition spanning Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet in China and all over South-east Asia. The magnum opus was exhibited in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Beijing. The tingling of bells mixed with the chanting of the lama monks serve as a leit motif in this enchanting mystical land. The work tells about the affinity of the Tibetans with Nature, and the optimism of life and its vagaries. Chang Fee Ming is one of the best known artists working in watercolours, and his wanderlust has taken him first to Bali and then the rest of Indonesia, Nepal, Cambodia, the African coasts and his most ambitious project in tracing the Mekong trail. Since 1985, he has won prestigious awards extolling his excellence in visual world philosophy. Among the awards – Malaysian Watercolour Society Award in 1984 and 1985; 1st Prize in the PNB Malaysian Art Competition in 1985; Gold and Overall Asean Prize in the Sime Darby Art Asia Competition in 1985; Minor Awards, Malaysian Young Contemporaries Award in 1986 and 1987; Two awards of Distinction, Rockport Publishers USA 1997; Dom Perignon Portrait of A Perfectionist Award, Malaysia 1999; Winsor & Newton World Millennium Painting Competition, Co-Winner Malaysian Category 1999. 56 x 76cm
