This work centres upon the architectural features of a traditional home, which provide a safe dwelling for the tribal community of Sarawak. It features the rugged surface textures of wood, with carefully modulated effects of light. The artist focuses on scenes from everyday life, and in this work, a young child is depicted at the entryway by the steps. Rendered in earthy tones, the painting achieves a harmonious atmosphere. Tan Wei Kheng is a self-taught artist from Marudi, Sarawak. Originally a ceramist for a commercial outlet producing touristic objects, Wei Kheng became drawn to the stories, symbolism and traditional knowledge of Sarawak’s interior peoples. Wei Kheng travels regularly into the dense interior of Sarawak where he spends time with friends from the tribes of the Orang Ulu (People of the Interior) such as the Kayan, Kenyah, Penan, Kelabit and Iban. His paintings depict them, their stories, traditions, culture and concerns.
