작품 상세

Eng Tay's deep interest in music is reflected through the medium of etching. Using a palette of predominantly warm colours, this exquisite set depicts figures performing in harmony surrounded by nature. Music, with its power to uplift and unite communities, evokes positive emotions such as joy. It acts as a vehicle for communities to express and share emotions, capturing stories and traditions. New York-based Eng Tay studied at the Art Students League (1968-1972) and the School of Visual Arts, both in New York. He had nearly 100 solos in Asia, Europe and the United States. He worked as a graphic designer for the Red Book magazine until 1978 when he decided to go fulltime. He was given a Retrospective by Galeri Petronas in 2009, titled Eng Tay: The Exhibition. His works are in the collection of Fukuyama Museum of Art, Hiroshima, Japan; Taipei Fine Art Museum, Taiwan; Frankie Valli Estate, Merv Griffin Estate and New York University. He has monumental sculptures in Kiaraville and Seni condominiums in Mont Kiara, Zehn Bukit Pantai in Bangsar, and the Marc Residences near KLCC.
