‘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.

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.

Masterpiece Fine Art Auction - Malaysia

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.

Each bearer manoeuvres the flag in acrobatic gestures with agility in attempt to balance a huge flag pole. Each flag would weigh between 50 – 80 pounds which requires great strength for physical co-ordination and reflexes.

He first experimented with batik painting in 1953 and achieved international recognition after his successful solo exhibition in the Commonwealth Institute, London in 1959. Chuah’s international recognition was further cast when two of his paintings, Two of A Kind (1968) and Tell You A Secret (1987), were selected as UNICEF’S greeting cards. In 1977, Teng was the only Malaysian invited to the Commonwealth Artists of Fame Exhibition in London. He was studied in the Amoy Academy of Arts, Fujian in 1932 and has since had solo exhibitions in Pomeroy Galleries, San Francisco, California, USA (1964), Stichting Twents-Gelders Textielmuseum, Enschede, Holland (1967), Churchill Art Gallery, Perth, Australia (1977) to name a few.

These colours became a metaphor in a dim and dull life, due to human greediness in exploring the environment. His interaction with his colours succeeds in creating spatial and composition variances.

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

蓝采和，姓许名杰，字伯通，公元（615-760），是中国民间及道教传说中的八仙之一，在淮南道濠州钟离濠梁之上（今安徽凤阳）得道成仙。元代杂剧《蓝采和》说他姓许名杰。蓝采和是他的乐名。传说有一年，八仙一行在崂山南头八仙墩下聚会，商量渡海东游的事。花篮变成五彩船，渡海看光景。东海龙王听到巡海夜叉说八仙不经许可便乘船过海东游，命虾兵蟹将们，给八仙们一个措手不及。然而众仙随机应变。青岛崂山的海面上，有一座八顶石头山，名叫浮山，蓝采和手中的百花篮变的，成了蓝采和与浮山的传说。而乘蟹也是从这典故得来的。黃尧，本名黄家塘, 原籍浙江嘉善, 出身书香门第。生长于上海，却在南洋度过半生岁月的马来西亚画家，特别擅长将不同时期的中国文字，转换成抽象的造型。在他的民俗画里，寿星、门神、八仙都是主角。通过他的幽默的画笔，中国儿童春夏秋冬四季节的欢乐、中秋佳节提灯的欢快场面，尽现纸上。黄尧最著名的漫画“牛鼻子系列” 用简洁的圆圈——脸是大圆圈，鼻、眼睛、耳朵排列成五个小圆圈，加上头上的四根头发，形象地描绘出一个典型的上世纪三十年代中国式文人。这个形象和三毛一起留存在许多人的记忆中。据说“牛鼻子”与黄尧本人颇为相似，也许更重要的是神似——“苦在躯壳，乐在灵魂”。

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。”
