A significant pioneer landscape artist, Fung Yow Chork depicts a harmonious and poetic impression of distant mountains and its magnificent peaks. The rocky surface of the mountain is complemented with tall vertical trees. In the distance, a herd of cattle could be seen beneath the mountains freely roaming. In the other painting, Yow Chork presents his observations of the Perdana Botanical Lake Garden in KL captured with a sense of immediacy, serenity and tranquillity.
