Chen Wen Hsi is Singapore’s foremost painter that combines Chinese and Western techniques in his semi abstract work. Chen Wen-hsi is renowned for his skill in painting animal themes. Chicken, gibbons, herons, carps and squirrels are some of his favourite subjects. Wen Hsi’s constant eagerness to strike for something new led him to learn finger painting – a technique that dates from the Tang Dynasty. This drawing style has enabled him to produce unpredictable broken stroke on paper. He developed his skill in finger painting, ink-and-brush, oil, sketches, abstracts and semi-abstract techniques. Every subject he paints, whether lotuses, gibbons, egrets, monkeys, squirrels, birds, or flowers and trees, is palpably vibrant. Besides squirrels and egrets, gibbons are the series of most representative of Chen’s style. That creates a dynamic, vigorous and rhythmic experience.

MASTERPIECE FINE ART - SINGAPORE

Mangu Putra’s works arise from intense contact with the world as a conscious expression of his main creative orientation. Representations of natural phenomena, along with the inner pulse of life, form the main stream of his search. The natural world, such as mountains and coasts, are depicted as identifiable objects. Mangu’s magnificent landscapes and volcanoes are depicted as majestic, timeless and all powerful, yet quietly dormant. They are breathtaking, yet set within an atmosphere of silent intimidating strength. It is this aspect of his work that sets Mangu apart from his predecessors. Often the scenes are dotted with Balinese villagers dressed in traditional robes for worship, perhaps reminiscent of Chinese philosopher painter’s work depicting the omnipotence of nature. Here, Mangu’s concern are not ritual ceremonies but rather the traditional culture of worship for the land; the land that scared and fundamental to our existence. Pura Batur is the second most important temple in Bali, after Pura Besakih. Built in 1926, the temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of lakes and rivers. Originally, Pura Batur and the village of Batur were located down in the caldera at the foot of Mount Batur, an active volcano. A violent eruption in 1926 destroyed both the village and the temple, except for the most important shrine, an 11-tiered meru dedicated to Dewi Danu. The villagers moved to the highest and oldest rim of the caldera, where they rebuilt their village and the temple. MASTERPIECE FINE ART - SINGAPORE

Tan Choh Tee Tan Choh Tee (b. 1942, Guangdong, China) is a prominent artist known for his impressionist-style oil paintings depicting still life as well as landscapes from a bygone era in Singapore’s history. For his contributions to the local arts scene, Tan was awarded the Cultural Medallion for Visual Arts in 2006. . In 1958, he enrolled himself into the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) and studied under the Nanyang Style artists such as Cheong Soo Pieng, Georgette Chen, Liu Kang and Chen Wen Hsi.

He began to paint still life and landscapes he saw on his travels such as fishing villages in South Thailand, the River Seine in Paris and Huangshan in China. Tan is known for his series of oil paintings of Chinatown. His other favourite themes are old buildings and fast disappearing landscapes of urban Singapore. Majoring in Western oil painting while he was in NAFA, Tan went on to study Chinese brush painting under pioneering artist Chen Wen Hsi. Between the years 1962 to 1970, Tan had concentrated on Chinese ink painting. However, after 1970, Tan decided to focus on oil painting instead as it appealed to him and he found the medium challenging and satisfying. Deeply influenced by the Impressionists, Tan believes that art must flow out of the artist’s personal experiences. Thus, Tan always paints on location and not from photographs. He only paints still life indoors in a studio on rainy days. Teo was hailed as the “Matisse of the East” by the Tatler (Singapore) magazine for his impressionist-style paintings. Over the years, Tan has also developed a distinctive personal style away from the Impressionists by using Chinese ink brush techniques in his oil paintings. Tan’s works are collected by the National Museum of Singapore, the National Museum of Negara Brunei Darussalam and several other institutions, corporate organizations and private collectors.

Dipo Andy Dipo works are considered belongs to Andy Warhol’s pop art style that focused the attention in imaging object. The differences are seen in Dipo’s painting that uses acrylic on canvas medium, while Warhol uses graphic technique. Dipo uses modern technology in creating his painting that he captured from digital photo then develop them through computer design graphic effect. Under the influence of pop art, he focuses his attention on the strength of mass culture in the lives of contemporary people. He tends to work in series, using modern technology in creating his painting that he captured from digital photo then develop them through computer design graphic effect. Dipo Andy reintroduces famous figures like the pop star Paris Hilton, Madonna, Mother Theresa, and Frida Kahlo, John Lennon, Che Quevera, Bill Gates, etc. Such figures appear with additional graphic that are neatly and dynamically arranged to result in more attractive imageries. Graphic elements are appropriated by manipulating them using computer software. It is as if Dipo re-appropriated technological images by transferring them to paintings. Viewing through the computer medium, forces us to repeat the question about the meaning of genius and the like. But Dipo’s work could perhaps lead us to thinking that anyway technology was invented by human beings for the life of the next human beings. His images are shape by thin lines of nuanced colors to produce portraits out of emphatic lines of different colors. Then he assigned numbers or barcodes. This gives us the impression that Dipo has interest in the issues of industry, technology and the cultural values involved.

Chen Wen Hsi A prolific painter who worked in a range of styles, Chen Wen Hsi won acclaim for combining Western art with Chinese brush strokes in his paintings. He was also an influential art teacher at The Chinese High School and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) for many years. From a young age, Chen was interested in the small animals that he saw in his village and around his home. For example, he enjoyed watching sparrows in the courtyard as well as the chickens, ducks and geese reared by his family. Contact with these small animals at an early age instilled in him a great love for pets and animals. 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. Chen painted both Western and Chinese paintings. His Western-style works in the early 1950s were realistic depictions infused with post-impressionistic and expressionistic elements. Chen’s Western painting style subsequently evolved, moving from simplified forms and strong colours to cubism, and later abstraction. Besides using oil paints for his Western artworks, Chen also experimented with acrylic and viscous paints as well as sand on canvas. Chen was also highly skilled at finger-painting. He first learnt this skill from his teacher Pan Tianshou and his artist-friend Fu Luofei in Shanghai. Over time, Chen also experimented and developed his own style, and often demonstrated his finger-painting skill to various audiences, including the king of Thailand.

Antonio Blanco “The Master” is a very interesting interpretation of Jesus of Nazareth by the award-winning painter Antonio Maria Blanco. Blanco is widely known for painting Balinese women as his subject matter for his artworks. However, “The Master” is clearly not one of that. Blanco tried to depict the simple idea of how Jesus of Nazareth might look like in this painting. He was intrigued by the notion that Jesus of Nazareth was conceived divinely by two regular Jews, Joseph and Maria. He then portrayed this phenomenal figure as a bearded man looking upwards toward the heaven. “For my concept of Jesus is that of a youthful clean-shaven face...and looking askance as though his lips had just uttered,” explained the painter about his depiction. Blanco also has another title for this painting: “The Man of Sorrows”. He implied that the subject matter felt sorrows for those who were in the darkness. This painting is arguably the only painting of Jesus of Nazareth by Blanco available. Blanco put a lot of thoughts in this work that he also wrote a poem based on the subject matter. 56

俸正杰，四川安岳县人。中国著名现代画家、油画艺术教育家。中专就读于安岳师范学校（现安岳实验中学）。本科毕业于四川美术学院美术教育系，获学士学位。1995毕业于四川美术学院油画系，获硕士学位。现为北京教育学院美术系副教授。俸正杰一直十分关注流行时尚对社会表象和人的内心的影响，民间年画与时尚流行色彩巧妙转换形成了俸正杰作品独特的艳丽浮华的画面风格，令人联想起普普艺术大师安迪沃荷的作品风格。俸正杰的作品《中国》系列和《中国肖像》系列及其类似的作品，着重于女性脸部肖像大特写。这些作品的核心在于使观赏者感到无所适从。非个性化的眼睛、超刺激的红嘴唇、绿红蓝的头及画中蕴含着有点现代过头的时尚感——从这些东西中很容易看出作者对现代的消费社会化、大众社会化状况的批判观点。从俸正杰的作品评断，画家不是在模仿现实，实际上，画家越来越肯定的是自己对现实的建设和创造，即是说，制造没有存在过的假像成为今天工作的内容。正是层出不穷的假像构成了这个世界的变化，而正是由假像构成的变化，使我们认识到了今天与过去的不同，认识到了问题的精彩。 58

Rose was also expecting their own first child, for whom they had prepared the name Pandanwangi. In 1959, they had discussed giving their child a name that would signify an aroma that was pleasant as a rose, and decided that the aroma of pandanus (Pandanusamaryllifolius) would be suitable. In painting featuring scenes of daily life, Sudjojono family became his main subject matter. While Rose continued to be the artist’s main inspiration, he often used her daughter as a model of his paintings. Some examples include painting of the present lot “Pandanwangi”. As per normal with restless children, the hours of sitting in for Pak Djon would take a toll on them. Judging from some of the glum faces, we can certainly see who were the reluctant participants amongst his daughters.

He was born on 10 January 1896 in his father’s coconut estate in Kuching, Sarawak with the original name of Yen Lang. He went to Tai-Pu in the Kwangtung province of China in 1901 for formal education in the proper use of brush and calligraphy, He returned to Kuching in 1910. The experience of watching a Japanese artist painting with watercolours left an unforgettable impression on him.

Watercolour on paper: 47 x 62.5 cm Signed and dated, lower right: Mun Sen, 52

Mun Sen’s forte was landscape in watercolour. He did make frequent sallies into oil and Chinese traditional brush painting with success, but it was in the watercolour medium that he excelled. His uncomplicated landscapes were executed in fluid, full-blood washes. His work reflected conscious attempts to incorporate the Chinese artistic spirit. The influence of Chinese art resulted in his compositions being more airy and generalised in treatment, revealing a concern for linear properties and surface design. He was not interested in providing details or factual depiction of the landscape he observed. He controlled the watercolour and allowed transluscency and fluidity to render the rhythms.

SGD 8,000 - 12,000 USD 5,840 - 8,760 Lots indicated with * symbols will be charged 7% GST on the hammer price & the premium.

The international contemporary art trend towards expressionism finally caught up with him in 1949 and the resultant heady ferment produced a series of abstract watercolours with surrealist undertone. In 1956, he had the first of several strokes and despite his physical infirmity, struggled on to paint. However, continued illness and financial hardship led to profound despair eventually. He died on September 29th 1962.

Zhang Daqian Zhang Daqian was one of the most internationally renowned Chinese artists of the 20th century. Born into a literally family in Sichuan Province, Zhang learned to draw at the age of 10, and at 12, he was already known for his depictions of flowers and birds. In 1919, after a 2 year spell in Kyoto, Japan with his brother Zhang Shanzi to study textile dyeing, Zhang returned to Shanghai to learn Chinese traditional painting from two famous calligrapher and painters, Zeng Xi and Li Ruiqing. Zhang was meticulous in studying the styles of old masters, emulating the Ming-Qing styles of Shi Tao and Bada Shanren, as Zhang believed that it is of vital importance to learn from tradition. In the late 1920’s Zhang moved to Beijing where he collaborated with fellow artist Pu Xinyu. Their collaborative efforts in the 1930’s earned them a reputation as “South Zhang and North Pu” as the coming together of the two styles. In the 1940’s Zhang led a group of artist in copying the Buddhist wall paintings in the Magao and Yulin caves. There, Zhang copied 276 frescoes from the Bei Wei Period, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Five Dynasties where 183 of his copies are preserved at the Sichuan Provincial Museum. In 1956, Zhang met Pablo Picasso in France and the event was highly publicized as the meeting between the artistic cultures of the East and West. Zhang Daqian was a well-rounded painter who was versatile in many techniques and styles of Chinese painting like gongbi, free sketches, inkand- wash, and splash colouring. Zhang had a special fondness for the lotus where the humble lotus plant became a staple of many of his artistic creations. Zhang was inspired by Shi Tao for his paintings of flowers where heavy ink is used to outline the petal tips after painting the flower petals with light ink, making the lotus look more lively and spirited. This technique of outlining plants coupled with Zhang’s freehand strokes gives this painting a fresh and realistic representation of the lotus.

张大千乃二十世纪最著名的中国画家之一，于1899年生于四川省一个书香世家，于10岁的稚龄已开始习画并展露绘画天份，到了 12岁那年，已以擅长画花鸟闻名。1917年，张大千赴日本京都学习染织，其二哥张善子也在日本，两年后，张大千回到上海学习书法及国画，师从曾熙、李瑞清。他认为，学习与临摹古代大家对于传承中国画传统至关重要，并醉心于钻研石涛和八大山人等的绘画风格。不久后，张大千与张善子创立“大风堂派”，是二十世纪中国画坛最具传奇色彩的泼墨画工。特别在山水画方面卓有成就。张大千后旅居海外，画风工写结合，重彩、水墨融为一体，尤其是泼墨与泼彩，开创了新的艺术风格，因其诗、书、画与齐白石、溥心畲齐名，故又并称为“南张北齐”和“南张北溥”。张大千也与黄君璧、溥心畲以“渡海三家”齐名。张大千二十多岁便蓄著一把大胡子，成为他日后的特有标志。 1940年，张大千赴敦煌临摹历代壁画两年七个月，共摹276幅，并为莫高窟壁画重新编号。1943年，出版《大风堂临摹敦煌壁画》。1956年，张大千在法国与毕加索会面，获传媒大事报道，认为是东方与西方绘画艺术大师文化交流之一大盛事。

张大千是二十世纪对中国画坛影响巨大，又最为传奇的国画大师，无论是绘画、书法、篆刻、诗词都无所不通，尤其是开创泼墨与泼彩，发展了中国画新的艺术风格。无论山水、人物、花鸟都在中国绘画历史上写下了浓重一笔，他是中国画史上少见的全方位画家。《风荷图》作于1948年，属于中期的作品，张大千在研习古人的过程中，又大胆试验，并拓展了文人花卉固有样式的努力，可从画中看出来。张大千的荷花，构图十分简洁，荷花皆向左倾斜，构成对角线，荷叶与花相互穿插，乱中有序。疏密有致，奇巧有趣，格调清新典雅。白描的荷花轮廓清晰与大片水墨绘成的荷叶对比衬托，益是显得脱俗动人，仿佛荷叶在风中微微自在飘摇，而荷叶疏影中高雅洁白的荷花已悄然绽放，孕育着灵动鲜活的生命。那种超凡脱俗、生机盎然、蒸蒸日上的美丽与意蕴，令人浮想联翩，回味无穷。大师纯熟的功底与老辣的技法，于浑朴中见清秀，于洒脱中含缜密，于酣畅中寓意蕴，令人称道折服。

Yunizar Yunizar takes painting as their medium to express things they are familiar with. To some artist, the expression of mind and feeling is not merely has to be obvious and real. Therefore understanding a painting needs certain comprehension and careful attention. Sometimes the understanding not only gained with full attention but can also perceive with half perceptions. Yunizar’s work embodies the beauty and purity in human creativity. Like the work of a child, Yunizar’s work is pure and crude, emerging spontaneously from what appears as his unconscious mind. Yunizar is to be commended for refusing to compromise creativity, like so many artists and galleries do, by tailoring their art or the artists they choose to represent for purely commercial reasons. What is important for Yunizar is the basic and pure creativity. He intentionally uses simple subject matter, objects which surround his daily life, and a simple painting and sketching technique to focus almost entirely on creativity and inventiveness.

Abdul Aziz Abdul Aziz was born in Purwokerto, Central Java, and showed precocious artistic talent from childhood. His first Diploma was in Social Sciences from Gajah Mada University, after which he studied Art at the Indonesian Fine Arts Academy (ASRI) in Yogyakarta. Due to his exceptional talent he was awarded a scholarship to study at the Academia di Belle Arti in Rome in 1958, where he was awarded two Diplomas, in Painting and in Decoration. On his return to Indonesia in 1965 he lectured in Fine Art at Udayana University and established his studio in Ubud Bali. Abdul Aziz is now regarded as one of Indonesia’s greatest artists of the 20th Century. Originally from Central Java but a resident of Bali for the last part of his life, Aziz was widely known and highly sought after for his realistic paintings of village scenes. Aziz’s paintings include beautiful women, depicted singly or in groups, and portraits both painted and sculpted. Yet his oeuvre stands out as more of an individual contribution to Indonesian art history than most, belonging in a class with artists who are continuously referred to as the ‘greats’: those individual artists that Western-trained or influenced art writers found to be the most original and innovative of their time. Aziz came to learn nude painting during his study in in Italy, where he took the life-drawing classes in the Euro-American sense. As an art student in Rome he was faced with one naked model after the other, most of them women. In Aziz nude paintings, there is nothing particularly sensual about the image. The painting looks like a study of naked human being, who happens to be female, by an artist who is exploring unusual angles and surface-toners rather than painting something which excites his subliminal or conscious desires. He presented the woman as a human being of the female species who has a lovely, beauty, natural thing of the human body.

Born in Singapore in the 1950s, Tengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works are heavily influenced by various cultural exchanges in Southeast Asia. His work uses symbols of adjacent culture and religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and even Balinese mythology. Unusual compositional elements accentuate the desired aesthetic. For example, a vase barely fits into the top of a painting in order to fully show the traditional cloth that lies underneath. Objects appear to defy gravity. The focus in his paintings thus turns towards structure and colour.

Chen Wen Hsi Born in 1906, Guangdong (China). Wen Hsi was an artist, an academician and a gallerist. He studied art at the Shanghai College of Art in 1928. Wen Hsi settled down in Singapore at 1948 and became an art teacher at The Chinese High School and taught there from 1949 to 1968, concurrently teaching art at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts from 1951 to 1959. As a passionate art educator he had greatly influenced many of Singapore’s early Chinese artists. Wen Hsi was a great observant of nature. Almost everything can be the master’s inspiration to create exciting work namely, landscapes, human figures and animals. Chen's great interest in observing his surroundings were found in depicting the nature and animal objects. He produced landscapes, figures, birds and animals, still life studies and abstract compositions. Chen was especially adept at drawing egrets and monkeys. Among all the animal paintings by him, Chen's gibbon paintings stand out, as they were noted by Chen's attention to detail and sensitive rendering of the beautiful creatures. His first inspiration from painting gibbons came from a reproduction of a gibbon painting that formed the right triptych of the famous painting, White Robed Guanyin, Crane and Gibbon by the 13th century Southern Song Dynasty Chinese artist Mu Xi. Awed by its lifelike quality, he was convinced with Mu Xi's great skill in close observation of the gibbons. So day and night, Chen studied Mu Xi's print and emulated the painting. Chen had never seen a gibbon when he was in China, and as a result he did not realize that gibbons, unlike monkeys, had no tails. It was only much later in the late-1940s, that a foreigner pointed out his error in his painting, and corrected him. Later on he continued to study the creature's postures and its characteristics, by rearing it in his home garden. Chen Wen Hsi Chinese color on paper illustrates a dimension of great complexity and freshness of Chen’s ink and brush.

Affandi Tower of the Sun by Affandi was made based on the popular symbol of Expo ‘70 Commemorative park in Osaka, Japan. Expo ‘70 was Asia’s first world’s fair that reflected Japan’s resurgent culture after World War II. The Tower of the Sun itself was built as a part of the theme pavilion. Later on, the pavilion that consisted of three levels, had the Basement Level buried and the Grand Roof removed after Expo ‘70. The only thing that remains is the Tower of The Sun in the Expo’70 Commemorative Park as a symbol to commemorate the event. Visitors at that time strongly felt the theme of Expo ‘70: “Progress and Harmony For Mankind”. The backstory of the Tower of the Sun is based on the largest ethnic religion of the people in Japan: Shinto. Shintoists believe that the Emperors of Japan are considered to be direct descendant of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. According to Japanese mythology, Amaterasu is not only seen as the goddess of the sun, but also of the universe. Affandi is known to paint as a medium of expressing his feelings more than describing an object. From his perspective, the Tower of the Sun is truly something different, something that he has not experienced before. The painting is nothing like the usual Affandi paintings with the signature crisscross lines painted repeatedly to create objects. It is certainly not because Affandi was in his development crisis while painting this artwork. Affandi genuinely expressed his feelings of amazement and admiration to a view that he has not seen before in his life: the progress and harmony for mankind beautifully captured in Expo ‘70. In addition to the Tower of The Sun itself, on the right side of the painting, Affandi painted his own version of Koinobori, also known as “carp streamer”. Koinobori is known as a symbol for Children’s Day in Japan.

The Tower of The Sun is such a popular and influential symbol that Google created a Google Doodle (temporary alteration of their logo on Google’s homepage) to commemorate the event.

Srihadi Soedarsono Since 1950s, Srihadi had produced dancing themes as his favorite objects. Among the dancing object comes from a variety of Balinese dances such as Legong, Pendet, Tambulilingan, Kenyar, Janger, Baris, Barong, Mask Dance, etc, and also the dance from Javanese like Bedoyo Ketawang. Some of his figurative paintings, especially the dancers, look deceptively similar, and that the figures have become stereotypes, but one should try to appreciate and study the details and minimal variations. Srihadi pays particular attention to the characteristic of the dancer and the artistic form of the dance. Every dance has its language or vocabulary of movement and type of costume, all of which imbued with philosophical meaning. The dance is one of Srihadi’s favorite themes. In his paintings of dancers he continues to paint female dancers in the same upright pose that has used in the past. His dance work consist of series of dancers, even so, for Srihadi, each dance has it own particular mood, the gist of which he attempts to capture in his painting. At the same time, dance also offers a panorama of human life in general: it shows the dynamic union between the everyday world of material reality and the world beyond perception, the realm of the material. The merging of spiritual and physical control obtained in dance obviously appeals to the philosophical Srihadi. Some of his figurative paintings, especially the dancers, look deceptively similar, and that the figures have become stereotypes, but one should try to appreciate and study the details and minimal variations. Srihadi pays particular attention to the characteristic of the dancer and the artistic form of the dance. Every dance has its language or vocabulary of movement and type of costume, all of which imbued with philosophical meaning. Srihadi gives us many variants in this new approach to the depiction of the dance. When he first started to focus on the idea of movement, he did so by paying with the parallelism of gestures and by emphasizing the realistic aspect of the dancer’s bodies. Color was then relatively secondary. By the early 1990’s rhythm had taken a life of its own, as shown by the vibrant dynamism of the dancer. In painting the present lot, the dancers’ eyes remain transfixed even as their body movements are transformed into a feast of glittering color. Even so, and however much the costumes of the dancers drift rhythmically over the canvas surface, it is in fact the artist’s working of this background that embodies the idea of movement.

Auke Cornelis Sonnega An artist’s quest to find inspiration and spiritual contentment can take him on a long voyage far away from home. Such was the journey for Dutch artist Auke Cornelis Sonnega. Born in Leeuwarden and educated at the Kunstnijverheidsschool in Amsterdam (School of Arts and Crafts), Sonnega first set foot on Indonesian soil when he arrived in Batavia in 1935. He did his paintings in Parapat and Medan, North Sumatra, and Bali. He moved to Bali, which became a great source of inspiration for his painting. After the war settled in Ubud in fellow artist Bonnet’s old studio in Puri Kaleran and dedicated himself solely to painting. His style is fresh and unique, clearly influenced by his designer training and background. It is very influenced by Art Deco and often graphic, however, his larger canvases often transcend these limitations and can even be thought to have a mystical impact. He also made many portraits, usually of doe eyed young men (he was in the words of a long time Ubud expatriate euphemism a member of the “club”). These are very stylized and use a brightpalate with strong outlining of his subjects. Sonnega, like Bonnet, stayed in Bali until 1957 when he was forced to leave by the Indonesia authorities in the era of Confrontation. The painting becomes all the more poignant when this separation is considered – the immortalization of a reality that was to him a fulfillment of a dream. He returned to Holland in 1959 and died in Den Haag in 1963.

Awang Damit Born in1956, Kuala Penyu (Sabah). Awang Damit is one of the renowned abstract expressionists in Malaysia. After graduating from UiTM in Fine Arts in 1983, he crafted his way into the Catholic University of America to Washington D.C., to obtain Masters in Fine Arts (1989). Awang Damit now lectures in UITM. He has held positions as the Curator of the Art Gallery and Head of the Fine Arts Department before being appointed an Associate Professor in 2000. While lecturing in UiTM, he completed the lauded series Marista (2002) and Iraga (2011). He also has started on his fourth series – Paya Ramahe – with a touch of modernity. His different styles of painting are what make people more attracted to his artwork. Awang Damit belongs to the second generation abstract expressionists in modern Malaysian art. This group widened the scope of their artistic expression turning landscapes and nature into a new set of visual language. In his paintings, everything is reduced to its essential elements, nothing superfluous. Colours are essential components. Immersed in a selection of earth colour, the master creates abstract spaces with his signature broad and daring brushstrokes. Awang’s nonrepresentational painting, geometrical forms with diverse lines against subdivided background, is often unique and optimistic in spirit. Awang Damit has held various exhibitions namley the Bentuk and Makna by Galeri Seni FSSR (UiTM, 2000) and Intipati Budaya – Satu Sintesis show at the National Art Gallery (Kuala Lumpur, 1995). Awang Damit has also actively involved himself in shows abroad including in China, Taiwan, Japan and London.
