KHALIL IBRAHIM (b. Kelantan, 1934) FIishermen Series ,1994 Watercolour on paper : 16 x 27 cm Signed and dated lower right: Khalid Ibrahim , ‘94 No reserve 无底价

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.

CHONG SIEW YING (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1969) Les Liaison Ance (A Mark), 1996 Ed : 33/35

Print on paper : 56 x 18 cm Signed, dated and titled, lower area: 33/35, Les Liaison Ance (A Mark), 96 No reserve 无底价 Chong Siew Ying went to France in 1990 to pursue her studies in Fine Art.There, she enrolled at the École des BeauxArts de Versailles and later at the Parisian printmaking centre, Atelier63. Returning to Malaysia in 1998, she held her first solo show in Kuala Lumpur in the same year. From 2000 - 2001, she travelled to the United States of America where she spent 7 months in New York City and 2 months at the Vermont Studio Centre in Vermont. She returned to Paris in 2001 and travelled back and forth between Paris and Kuala Lumpur until 2011. She has since moved back permanently to Kuala Lumpur. Her career has spanned a large number of solo and group exhibitions in Asia, as well as across Europe and the USA. Chong Siew Ying’s practice is grounded in both Eastern and Western painterly sensibilities. Although well known for her dynamic gestural brush strokes and expressive compositions, she continues to develop new techniques and approaches to subject matter to explore painting as a distinct form of visual poetry. A lyrical and elegant painter, her work is profoundly emotive, embracing broad themes such as nature, human sentiments, as well as referencing on literary themes and concepts. As a restless and curious artist, travel continue to be an important influence on her practice. A true voyageur, she has undertaken epic journeys overland from Europe to Asia, absorbing and patiently observing the diverse cultures and landscapes along the way. Emerging from her work is therefore a complex understanding of place, expressed through the perennial theme of human connection, homeland and belonging.

Paired with natural subjects such as fruits and plants, Tony gives us a fresh new look on something so culturally Malaysian. His growing popularity which now boasts prominent collectors such as Mandarin Oriental, Sokai Gakkai Malaysia, and Aaron Barnett (Singapore), cumulated into his first solo exhibition “The Beauty of Faith”, Art Square Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (2015). 枯干老去的树枝转化成养分滋养新生命，正如我们把生活中最好的资源都留给了孩子。随着时间的流去，我们渐渐成为枯干的老树脆弱乏力，而期望着孩子们长成我们心目中的那颗大树。这是画家要表达的意境，表达了大自然不断循环延续生命的形态。Tony Ng是现实主义者的艺术家。

CHEAH THIEN SOONG, DR 谢忝宋博士 (b. Negeri Sembilan, 1942) Calligraphy 石之艺术 Chinese ink on rice paper : 34 x 138 cm Signed and sealed lower left in Chinese characters No reserve 无底价

Cheah is a contemporary Chinese ink artist educated in both Chinese and Western painting at an early age who trained under prominent teachers in NAFA such as Cheong Soo Pieng, Georgette Chen and Chen Chong Swee, crossing easily between traditional and contemporary art of the East and West. A prolific artist and well recognised figure in the Malaysian art circle, he had won numerous awards and prizes in both ink painting, calligraphy and academic contributions in the past two decades in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and China. He has published his own writings and others featured in various publications. Over the years, he co-founded and established art groups such as the Seremban Art College, Seremban, Chinese Literature Society, Contemporary Chinese Ink Painting Society at Malaysia Institute of Art, International Contemporary Chinese Painting and Calligraphy and most recently in 2005, the Cao Tang Men Eastern Arts Society, Malaysia where he is the founder. On his art, Cheah ponders, “Language is used as a medium of thoughts and sentiments and drawing is a kind of silent visual language. In the process of art expression, how can we search fo this soundless language?”

Cheah Thien Soong 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”.

齐灵根，（1945-2011），湖南湘潭人，祖父齐白石，父亲齐子如（白石三子）1946年随父母迁往北京与白石老人生活。从小便表现出绘画的卓越天赋，喜欢观看前辈作画，五岁画虾受祖父启蒙指点，以后在绘画方面多为父亲传授，最早以工笔草虫为主。齐灵根在两代大师所生活的艺术氛围中耳听目染，在水墨笔法，配色方面深得家法，金石刀法，篆字布局也颇得白石艺术之流源。十三岁时两位长辈先后谢世，齐灵根艺术上受到极大的影响，又因历史的变迁，于十七岁随母亲回到故乡白石铺，由于身体不适务农，遂拜当地名师刘国斌学雕花木匠（白石老人早年也曾是雕花木匠）养家糊口。由于雕花木匠首先要画好才能动刀锯，所以，历经近20 年的匠工生涯，花鸟、山水、虫鱼几乎无所不画。同时练就了有力的刀功，为篆刻打下了良好的基础。在艰苦和风云多变的年代里，齐灵根执着坚持着对绘画艺术的追求与研究。 80年代初，中国艺术界迎来了新的春天，齐灵根先后在长沙，广州等地举办个人画展，深受各界好评和喜爱。此后，齐灵根全心投入到绘画创作，任齐白石研究会常务理事，齐白石纪念馆特聘画家，2005年出版了个人画册《齐灵根画集》。 65 Masterpiece Fine Art Auction - Malaysia

CHEAH THIEN SOONG, DR 谢忝宋博士 (b.

Having been trained for three years under the guidance from the pioneering Figures of Nanyang Painting such as Chen Wen Hsi and Cheong Soo Pieng in Chinese and Western art, Thien Soong has established a very strong foundation in both traditional and contemporary art. Cheah is considered the second generation of Nanyang style artist, and has established Seremban Institute of Art in 1985. In 1988, he joined Malaysia Institute of Art as a lecturer in Oriental Art. Cheah Thien Soong is good in manipulation of colour and his contemporary planning in his works. These two features could be easily seen in his works, and from an important linguistic element in his way of expressing contemporary spirit; it is a lot reflective of his style in embodying Western art in his painting. 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 2002, he has branched out from canvas and taken up the challenge of painting on porcelain, creating works with Malaysian subjects painted onto Jingdezhen clay. 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. Dr Cheah Thien Song received his doctorate from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico in 2002. “I chose to portray ‘Yangji’ ( water-hen) because of my peculiar experience with nature and life. I am of the view that what you are portraying is not all that important; more important is your feeling towards the objects and what you intend to convey. It is possible to express the deepest meaning in the most ordinary things.” – Prof Dr Cheah Thien Soong 紫气东来表示祥瑞。传说老子过函谷关之前，关令尹喜见有紫气从东而来，知道将有圣人过关。果然老子骑着青牛而来。旧时比喻吉祥的征兆。出自《史记·老子韩非列传》“於是老子乃著书上下篇，言道德之意五千馀言而去，莫知其所终”司马贞索隐引汉刘向《列仙传》：“ 老子西游，关令尹喜望见有紫气浮关，而老子果乘青牛而过也。” 谢忝宋博士，又名谢梅，是马来西亚著名的杰出水墨画家。他于1962年毕业于新加坡南洋美专，2002年荣获美国英特大学颁予的美术哲学博士荣衔。谢博士是南洋美专校友会(马)会长、森美兰艺术协会顾问、国际现代水墨画联盟会员、国际造型艺术家协会(马)会员及国际彩墨画家联盟会员。他的绘画艺术揉和了儒释道精神，这体现在他对艺术传统保持了一种融会贯通、和谐均称的态势。他的画作捕捉到可见物质世界虚空的底蕴。他擅长把东西方艺术以及具象和抽像元素结合在一起，成功创造一种具有借鉴意义的崭新而独特的风格，给予观者以审美、和谐以及愉悦的感觉。 89 Masterpiece Fine Art Auction - Malaysia

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。”

To observe the characteristics and movements of the animals he painted, Chen bought and reared gibbons, fish, birds, squirrels, egrets and peacocks. He was said to have a “miniature zoo” in his backyard. 陈文希,一九零六年生於中国广东省揭阳县一户大家庭。陈文希童年在乡野裡度过,让他有更多机会向许多有趣、美丽的事物探索和追寻,孕育了他对绘画的热爱。中学毕业后到上海美术专科学校专攻美术,后因故转校新华艺术专科学校,受教於潘天寿等名师,四年后,往汕头中学教美术,还组织春阳画社,教导有志於艺术的年轻人。年轻时期便展现其艺术天分,先后在汕头、广州、香港、上海等城市举行个展;一九三七年在南京举行的中国第二次全国美展,更受到徐悲鸿的赏识和讚扬,同年,英国画室杂誌所刊选的当代中国十大画家作品中,他也被列為之一。一九四八年,见有人到南洋办画展成功,逐心动而远道下南洋,本打算逗留三个月,未料就此定居下来,先后任教於华侨中学、南洋美专,逢假期閒暇便往东南亚各地旅行,收集画材,其中又以峇里岛和爪哇的民土风情,让他灵感充沛。陈文希以他独特的中西结合的画风,奠定了他在国际艺坛上的基础。在他诸多作品中,以猿猴和鷺鷥為其代表佳作,而其它画如鱼、鸟.他朝夕观察作画,其认真作画精神,由此可知。一九七五年,新加坡大学為了表扬他对美术的贡献,特别颁发以”名誉博士“荣衔,為首位当地画家获得此荣誉。此外,一就六四年,他获得新加坡总统尤索夫授予公共服务勋章,一九八零年得台湾歷史博物馆颁发金章,一九八七年则得亚细安文化及传播奖。 97 Masterpiece Fine Art Auction - Malaysia

AWANG DAMIT AHMAD (b. Sabah, 1956) Payarama Baru (Sendirian), 2015 Mixed media on canvas : 122 x 122 cm Signed, dated and titled on the reverse MYR 50,000 - 70,000 USD 11,790 - 16,500

Awang Damit hails from the second generation of abstract expressionists in Malaysian modern art, who creates artworks in a broadly expressionistic style and expanded the subject matter of their paintings from landscapes and nature to include current cultural, social and religious issues. As one of the most recoginsed expressionists in Malaysia, he has been lauded for his series ‘EOC’, ‘Marista’, ‘Iraga’, ‘Payarama’ and ‘Payarama Baru’. The present lot, Payarama Baru ( Sendirian) is a latest series of the artist’s fifth stylistic phase known as “Payarama” Baru, which reflects upon the interconnection between nature and man. 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. Masterpiece Fine Art Auction - Malaysia 122

In 1959, he was the first artist from the Straits Settlement to receive a scholarship to pursue art at Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts de Paris. According to Long Thien Shih who curated “ A Touch of French’ at National Art Gallery,1991, Chia looked to Maurice Utrillo for colour control and Oscar Kokoschka for street scene and figure work. Chia took much of his artistic inspiration from familiar local scenes, painting mostly episodes from daily village life, and the vast tropical and Nanyang landscapes. “By the River” is another early work of Chia‘s oeuvre features a combination of varied geometric and human forms, alongside a multitude of colour. Chia outlined the structures with dark strokes and white trims.

有时候，内在美更为重要，缺乏内在美，无论外在如何美观，也要大打折扣。” 从一九五七年，谢玉谦已经拥有超过二十次的个展。谢玉谦遗作展，展出油画、粉彩和速写作品，作品包括从五十年代学生时期的《静物》到九零年代的另一幅《静物》。
