작품 상세

Central to the works from the Bayang series is the focus on shadows cast on the wall, rendered with ambience and atmosphere. In Apple, a unique palette of tranquil shades ranging from pale green, greys and a hint of earthy tones was devised to enrich the mood and emotion of the scene. The artist captures these fleeting moments in life, through his experimentation with colour and texture. Cheng Thak has been a fulltime artist ever since he graduated from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. His forte is with extolling the architectural heritage as livable abodes and in his own inimitable style of lush grandeur and romance. He also paints about the disappearing trades such as the itinerant roti man or pasembur hawker. He held his first solo called As I Was Passing at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur in 1997 and among recent, Jalan-Jalan 2, was held at PinkGuy Gallery in 2022, and Festive Seasons at the same gallery in 2023. His works are held in the collection of corporations, hotels and private collectors.
