Fauzul’s oeuvre incline towards children, naivety and primitive art carefully composed through chromatic colour schemes and well structured compositions. His maturing style is based upon assessment of form and content, while its spontaneity, accidental impression and textural effects display the playful esthetic of his work. Using intelligently carefree forms and free flowing lines, Fauzulyusri creates his works using pure imagination, knowledge and in-depth technique. His paintings focus on a specific aspect of art formalism. Example, in the Guris series, he focuses on the significance of lines; in the Play series, he explores the focal point of a subject and in the Ground series on the texture and the surface of a canvas. Fauzulyusri has been exhibiting in various galleries in Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Kingdom. He also has ten solo exhibitions to his name, the most recent being ‘Guris’,2011 and ‘Coreng’ ,2013.

One look at his painting and one immediately notices the anchovy pirouette, choreography of lyrical movements, a migration of sorts. Tang Hong Lee uses anchovies as metaphor, especially for those who are not familiar with Malaysia and its colourful culture. These aphues symbolize the concept of unity amongst Malaysia’s ethnic backgrounds as it is one of the main ingredients used to make ‘nasi lemak’, a much loved local delicacy consumed mainly for breakfast, but has long since been part of this nation’s staple diet. He stresses on the fact that Malaysia is a peace loving country devoid of hostility of which seems to plague others.

Over the past twenty-two years, he has held nine solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions. A mover and shaker, he is one of the founders of MATAHATI, an art collective formed in 1989. The collaboration started HOM (House of MATAHATI) that flourished into an active art space that host exhibitions, initiating awards, with residencies and art programmes, cultivating a network regionally and abroad. The F Klub was conceptualised after his sojourn in England. As an artist, his list of achievements in sculpture and painting bares experimentations with different media and manifests his involvement in the theatre production. Earlier artworks with expressionistic tendencies later evolved into enigmatic selfportraits and delved the myth of male/ hero archetype. In his large charcoal drawings the physical power the body exudes also reveal an inner spiritual strength orenergy beneath the surface. After his first successful solo show on socio political at The Creative Centre, National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 1996; Bayu decided to stop producing figurative works completely. He then began a series of abstract paintings. When he was asked on the drastic move, he explained to produce artworks that revolve around social commentary takes too much of him; mentally and physically. Hence why he switched to abstract form in order to express his inner feeling with no boundaries while relieving him from his burden. Vivid colours and bold brush strokes were the essentials in producing artworks expressing an imagined conversation that took place between him and his artwork; his artwork and the viewers. Bayu made a comeback in the discipline of figurative painting in 1999.

Descended from a line of master woodcarvers, Raduan Man has spent his life exploring the medium of printmaking and attempting to push the medium beyond its limits. What sets his works apart from most printmaking techniques is his use of canvas or jute as a surface, which, as opposed to paper, allows for increased experimentation with scale. The use of canvas as oppose to paper gives Raduan a sturdier material to work with, enabling him the room for experimentation to form the artistic statement, which has shaped him today. Layers of blocks are imprinted, with each block contributing its unique characteristic, which gives depth and complexities to Raduan’s work. In 2006 Man received the Pahang State Foundation Scholarship to study at the Camberwell School of Art in London, graduating with an MA in printmaking that same year. Raduan also holds an MA in painting from the University of Wolverhampton in the United Kingdom. He has had eight solo exhibitions in Malaysia and various group shows. Additionally, his work is featured in private collections throughout Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia and the United Kingdom, as well as public collections owned by Bank Negara Malaysia and HSBC Malaysia.

Syed Thajudeen has been painting for the past 50 years and is recognised as one of the stalwarts od the Malaysia art scene. He has honed his mastery of the figurative figure being able to create miniature pieces to mural-sized masterpieces. Although Syed Thajudeen’s unique style are influenced by the Bauhaus art of Paul Klee and his Indian education background, themes of his work are mostly based on the Malaysia culture. A distinctive stylisation, romantic treatment of subject matter and the rich colours as in the Ajanta cave paintings of Maharashtra and of the Mughal are apparent in his works. This, together with the traditional visual arts’ integral connection with literature, music, dance, sculpture and philosophy, helped shape Syed’s early works. His works, as individualistic as they are, attempt to evoke a state of rasa, or heightened mood that belongs to a larger tapestry and sensibility of Asian artistic traditions. In many instances where his favourite subject matters deal with women and love, they share the same archetypal symbols and metaphors. His paintings are in the permanent collections of renowned institutions like the National Art Gallery of Malaysia, Singapore Art Museum, Beijing Olympic Museum and Bank Negara Malaysia, not to mention numerous corporate entities and private homes both locally and abroad.

From his drawing or sketches, is no doubt he understands the value of the first attempt - the quick sketch or the initial drawing. For it is frequently within that first observation that the artist captures the essence of the thing observed through his/her feeling of, or reaction to, the subject they are observing.

Kedah born painter, Khoo Sui Hoe graduated from NAFA in 1961. In 1974, he obtained a grant from the John D Rockefeller 3rd Fund grant to study the development of post-war art in the US. His works have often been filled with dream like figures, based on his own thoughts and observations of life and the environment through his poetic distillations. Khoo’s paintings are often about the theatricality of gestures and postures. Evocative figures in strange postures and surreal landscapes come together, echoing the artist’s subconscious as a man of the worlds, an Asian and global citizen. “One Fine Day” is one of early and very few large scale masterpieces of Khoo Sui Hoe that are about his artistic spirit, journeying back and forth through time and across borders. In this work, Khoo recognises that Southeast Asia is spiritual in its landscape, where the actions and livelihood of the inhabitants are synonymous with how any one person may define and describe their own surroundings and environment to call their own. From the 1960s to present, Khoo has held over 50 solo exhibitions in Asia, Australia, and the United States, in addition to group exhibitions in India, Japan, Brazil, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 2015, he had 3 solo exhibitions; there are Faces and Landscapes by Sui Hoe Khoo, Butler Center, Arkansas Studies Institute, United States, Khoo Sui Hoe: Recent Paintings, Bellevue Hotel, Penang and Khoo Sui Hoe: An Overview Part II – The Patron, Datuk Seri Lim Chong Keat’s Collection from 1960s to 1980s, The Private Museum, Singapore.

Born in Pantai Sabak, Kota Bharu,, Ismail Mat Hussin’s batik combines warm tones and earthy hues from a restricted palette of colors to depict everyday rural scenes with lively good humor. Batik art has ascended from a humble and practical worn piece of cloth and alleviated to fine art today and Ismail Mat Hussin is one of the very finest in this art. His human figures are drawn more real looking people with dull background surroundings and Ismail’s trademark is heavy limbs with the muscles rendered mosaic-like and graceful movements of figures. This is clearly discernible in this masterpiece, “Fishermen at Bay”. In this work, statements of realism on the past, the daily experience and the world around, are all wonderfully captured. The earthy tones and glimmers of yellow and white are his personal prediliction. These are colors full of humility; they are stable colours, friendly and beckon us to come close. Ismail Mat Hussin is not all about making batik, but rather, canting the fabric of one’s self. Ismail Mat Hussin paintings collected by individuals and national institutions such as the National Visual Arts Gallery, Malaysia Airline System, National Museum, Esso Malaysia, Bank Negara, Petronas Gallery and others.

He arrived in Bali in the early 1920’s, settled for a while and returned often before the Indonesian Independence. His modern figurative paintings of dancers are notable for their strong lines and exotic subjects. He was unwilling to sweeten the power of his vision. The resulting muscular Legong dancers and figures seem almost agonized, especially when compared to the more refined aesthetics of Hofker and Bonnet, whom he knew well.

Nai Tong constantly expressed the astounding beauty of human body through his drawings. albeit the basis of his drawings is Westernstyled, but his ideal women have to be oriental ones. The artistic grace and allure of the women in NaiTong’s eyes must not reflect seductive expres- sion but exudes artistic elegance.

Ali Mabuha also known as Ali Rahamad is a self taught artist. He left Malaysia in 1971. His art was very much influenced by his personal journey and experimentation throughout the world. During this journey, he accumulated a storehouse of impressions that left an indelible stamp on his work. His work often challenges the prevailing stereotype of the apolitical artist, and he has shown great courage in his grappling with some of the more pressing concerns of the day and protesting the oppressive conditions that exist under the cloak of patriotic rhetoric and hollow ideals. He has stripped away the veil of this rhetoric to expose the wellsprings of tyranny in vivid and unforgettable imagery. At the same time, he has also made an effort to tap into the mystical links between human beings and the natural environment, promoting a more spiritualised, and thus more universal, vision of painless progress attended by life and peace instead of discord and death. Ali has been represented in numerous groups and solo exhibitions in Germany, Holland, Malaysia, Japan and U.S.A., and had the honor of participating in the annual exhibitions at the National Art Gallery, in Kuala Lumpur.

Born in Pantai Sabak, Kota Bharu,, Ismail Mat Hussin’s batik combines warm tones and earthy hues from a restricted palette of colors to depict everyday rural scenes with lively good humor. Batik art has ascended from a humble and practical worn piece of cloth and alleviated to fine art today and Ismail Mat Hussin is one of the very finest in this art .His human figures are drawn more real looking people with dull background surroundings and Ismail’s trademark is heavy limbs with the muscles rendered mosaic-like and graceful movements of figures. Ismail Mat Hussin’s artistic prowess began truly blooming at 16. He was first trained by teacher Nik Mahmood of Sekolah Melayu Padang Garong, Kelantan. Five years later, Ismail began to actively produce and exhibit his works around Kota Bharu venues such as the Scouts Hall, and even ventured to other towns around Kelantan. By 1968, he began taking the brave step to immerse himself entirely in the world of art. He joined the Kelantan branch of Angkatan Pelukis Semenanjung (Peninsular Artists Movement). In the 1979 installment of Salon Malaysia, Ismail Mat Hussin tried his hand again with his batik work titled ‘Pemain Mak Yong’ (The Mak Yong Dancer) and ‘Membaiki Pukat’ (Mending Nets). Again he did not succeed in bagging any of the prizes at this prestigious competition. While he did not impress the jurors enough to win awards, he, however, finally succeeded in opening the hearts and minds of art collectors towards his art. Since then, the batik works of Ismail Mat Hussin had begun to be known and collected by individuals and national institutions such as the National Visual Arts Gallery, Malaysia Airline System, National Museum, Esso Malaysia, Bank Negara, Petronas Gallery and others.

Born in 1934 in Kubang Krian, Kelantan, Khalil Ibrahim is one of the few Malaysians who received a state scholarship to attend art training at the prestigious Central St Martins School of Art and Design in London. Through his long career spanning over 50 years, Khalil Ibrahim has held many solo and group exhibitions in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Switzerland. He was Vice Chairman of Malaysian Watercolour Organisation from 2002 to 2003. His skills in drawing, watercolour and acrylic, are in styles that move from the almost real to the almost abstract. Khalil’s preference for the human figure has led to memorable images of men and women in the East Coast Malay fishing villages against stark backgrounds of blues and greens and watercolour landscape of villages. From his drawing or sketches, is no doubt he understands the value of the first attempt the quick sketch or the initial drawing. For it is frequently within that first observation that the artist captures the essence of the thing observed through his/her feeling of, or reaction to, the subject they are observing. It is this initial relationship (to the subject), which often proves to be the most profound, for an artist. For artists such as Khalil Ibrahim, it becomes necessary not just to look - but to see. Sketching enables an artist to re-train his/ her hand-eye coordination through placing physical marks on a surface and feeling the effect an instrument – pen, pencil, scribe etc has when making its mark through the pressure of the artist’s recording hand.

Masterpiece Fine Art Auction - Malaysia
The unique abstract expressionistic brushwork visible in “Tinggalan Semusim” has placed Awang Damit Ahmad at the forefront of our Malaysia’s contemporary art scene today. The present lot is the continues series of the artist’s fourth stylistic phase known as “Payarama Baru”, which reflects upon the interconnection between nature and man. This series speaks about the life of a farmer, which is vulnerable to and dependent on the whims of the weather. This work expresses a profoundly spiritual quality that is deeply rooted in his oeuvre. The premeditated use of colours is suggestive of his sensitivity to the varying hues and their associated meanings. Viewing the painting from a distance shows an intuitive and intellectual division of space on the canvas, where the disparate elements suspend in an optimal stasis. According to Professor Dr. Muliyadi Mahamood, “Awang draws his inspiration from his childhood as the son of a fisherman, as well as from his environment full of green luxurious plants. Around him, he saw neighbours planting and working in their gardens; building houses and buildings; fixing roads full of potholes and mud. Awang tried to understand all the human activities around him, and he compared and contrasted them with his artistic activities. “The process of producing an artwork is similar to gardening, for my artwork, I have the canvas, whereas in my gardening I work with soil. It is easy for me to relate gardening as similar process to creating artwork as it is ia daily experience with the element of aesthetics” – Awang Damit

Chen Wen Hsi is renowned for his skills in depicting animals, of which it is the gibbons that he is most associated with. Since Song Dynasty, Gibbons were seen to be noble, unlike the macaqueswho often disrupted and stole from humans. In contrast, gibbons were often described as the ‘gentlemen of the forests’, with their human-like characteristics they were believed to be animals, which would one day evolve into humans.

This self-titled work Gibbons showcases bold, solid figures add weight and vigor to the gibbons, bringing a feeling of gravity to the work, and intensifying the energy of the animal’s motion.

MYR 30,000 - 48,000 USD 6,780 - 10,850
His painting on the subject demonstrates his impressive skill in portraying movement set within a naturalistic scene. The artist kept six gibbons as pets in his home, and studied the physique and character of the animals often in close range for long periods of time. It is Chen Wen Hsi’s mastery of the gibbons that led it to be commemorated on the 50 Singapore Dollars note. “Wen Hsi’s brush moves like a thousand troops, Yuanji would recognise this man if he werw to be reincarnated today. All of sudden I hear the cries of gibbons, but the mountains I knew were actually a myriad of clouds away.” - Zhang Daqian

In the choice of subject matters, he equally displays his adventurous spirit. He is fond of portraying relatively unknown fowl, called “Yangji” (Western-hen), because no one has ever devoted so much effort in painting this fowl. This also reflects his sincere attitude to life and his ideology of “ all living things are equal” In his involvement in art for almost 50 years, he had participated in various exhibitions and won various awards both local and international. He recently had his very successful solo show,’ Cheah Thien Soong: Nanyang Ink Painting’ in National Visual Arts Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, 2015 and was chosen to exhibit in a show,The Enchanting Orient at Starhill Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, 2016.

Le Chek Wen, by studying both Chinese and Western paintings, he had deepened his understanding of the Chinese ink and brush painting which requires not only superb technique, but also literary disciplines and philosophical cultivations that enable the artwork to transcend the material framework and to reach a sublimed height of mentality, that is where its superiority over the Western painting lies. 吕介文乃马来西亚著名水墨画画家及教育家, 自幼就对绘画艺术产生浓厚的兴趣,并誓志成 为一名画家。青年时期进入新加坡南洋美专 就读,1956年以优秀的成绩毕业。1961年,在 著名画家钟正山的推介下,出任森美兰州芙蓉 中华中学美术主任。这个职位,他一做就是37 年,直至于1988年逝世为止。几十年来的教学 工作,他尽心尽力,努力不懈地培育后进,经常 带学生到吉隆坡参加绘画活动,不辞劳苦地推 展绘画艺术,一并带起了芙蓉的艺术风气。 吕介文的作品曾经在新加坡、台湾、韩国、 日本及中国等地展出,让人留下深刻印象, 其1987年的杰作《空山灵水》(Amidst Nature’s Solitude),基于在传统中 国水墨画 的技巧与意境创作方面取得突破性的进展,而 荣获1988年度“北京国际水墨画展”大奖,轰 动一时。只可惜英年早逝,遗留人间的画作并 不多。至于吕介文在水墨画方面的成就,中国 西安美院国画系教授孙宜生写道:“我深感吕 先生的系列作品在吕先生五十四年的生涯中, 如同那幅神秘画境中闪耀的白光,具有永恒而 醒目的生命力。吕先生是南洋风艺术的杰出 者,水墨画中的空灵追求使他在中西融汇中, 达到了一个前人没有的地步。”
