작품 상세

Fung Yow Chork captures the experience of a peaceful landscape along a curved pathway within the forest interior, expressed through a lush green palette. Rays of light radiate through the trees and branches, executed with refined brush strokes that adds texture resulting in subtle tonalities. Vertical trees and horizontals of the ground create visual interest and depth in the composition, showing a fine appreciation for nature. 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).
