‘Gelai tutup’ was one of the decorative items that young nyonyas, particularly those from Penang, made for the wedding chamber during the 12-day Peranakan wedding.The tradition of ‘gelai tutup ‘was derived from the British during the colonial period in Malaya. Bell jar cloches were used in Victorian England to protect delicate blooms and plants from excessive temperature fluctuations, rain, wind and pests. This then grew into a tradition of bringing the great outdoors in the home. Stuffed birds, porcelain dolls, flowers and, later, faux blooms were worked and encased into bell jar cloches. Most Victorian bell jar cloches were made of hand-blown glass.

MYR 8,000 - 10,000 USD 1,960 - 2,450 Kakiemon (Japanese: 柿右衛門) is a style of Japanese porcelain, with overglaze decoration called “enameled” ceramics. The style shares much in common with the Chinese “Famille Verte” style. The quality of its decoration was highly prized in the West and widely imitated by major European porcelain manufacturers during the Baroque era. Kakiemon is a term that generates some confusion, being the name of a family, one or more kilns, and a brightly-coloured overglaze style broadly imitating Chinese wares. The style originated with the family, whose kilns were the main producers of it, but other kilns also made it, and the Kakiemon kilns made other styles.

Yap Chin Hoe has been a full time artist since he graduated from the Malaysian Institute of Arts in 1991. He has finessed a refreshing contemporary interpretation of classical Western still- life - the Oriental antique- wares bring grace and poise to an otherwise traditional theme. Intricate details - the fluttery of dragonfly wings, phoenix flapping its wings, soft tendrils of foliage, graceful translucent drapes - and a more vivid palette have infused his recent artwork with new vitality.

His delicate brushstrokes reveal a meticulous quest to capture the ethereal quality of the antique porcelain, while brilliantly coloured Nyonya and batik fabric serve as a counterpoint to the austerity of the blue and white china. The image of raucous Peranakan revelry comes to mind when flamboyant tapestries are paired with equally dramatic wares.

His artworks show a deep understanding of the difficulties surrounding an individual in the midst of personal and universal problems and challenges. The artist expresses surrealism and symbolism in his paintings with contrasting and sharp colours, his compositions livened up with symbolism that reflects the artist’s desire to express his inner feelings and world view, which is also presented in this artwork. In his 1987 “October Series, #10”, Ng Hon Loong is profoundly symbolizing Operasi Lalang that potentially threatened peace and stability in modern Malaysia. By painting internationally recognized peace symbol and the Yin Yang symbol for balance and covering with white clouds, Ng sends us the message that in October 1987, peace, stability and social balance were facing problems in many places, and particularly in Malaysia.

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 a daily experience with the element of aesthetics” – Awang Damit 100

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 macaques- who 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.

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 were 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

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.
