This abstract work depicts the Trang province. Trang’s main attraction is the beaches and its affordable seafood cuisine. Its clear water drives tourists to go snorkelling, diving, kayaking and many more. It was probably painted during the artist's trip to Hatyai, or upon returning. Goh Beng Kwan is a Singapore art legend, winning the Cultural Medallion in 1989, the 1st Prize of the UOB Painting of the Year in 1982, 1st Prize Australian Business Council and Australian High Commission awards, silver medal in the Salon des Artistes Francais (1985), and the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI) residency in 2006. His baptism in art was a virtual 10-year personal tutelage by two great Singapore art pioneers Chen Wenhsi and Cheong Soo Pieng, learning Chinese ink and calligraphy. Studies at the Art Students League in New York, under Sidney Gross, changed his course to abstract expressionism, while a Provincetown workshop in Massachusetts put him in touch with collagist Leo Manso. At STPI, he also met paper-maker Richard Hungerford.
