Description
Set against an eastern background with figures of children, women and animals, the artist illustrates the beautiful landscapes of Malaysia and Bali. The transparency and delicacy of watercolours describing figures in nature demonstrate the artist’s wide range of expression. Wong Kean Choon graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore in 1965. He has won several awards, including the Second Prize Winner of Art Competition held in conjunction with celebration of Ipoh City Status (1988), and One of the three Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts Alumus Malaysia Exhibition Creative Award (1989).
