Illustrated here is an alluring scene of a house in a deep green forest, a few figures can be seen lingering in front of the house. Perhaps there’s a celebration or just merely people visiting, people gathering. Fung Yow Chork has skilfully captured the serenity of the kampung house surrounded by nature. His use of a vibrant palette — consisting of light blue for the sky, shades of brown suggesting trees trunks and dried leaves, and few spots of red and yellow hues create a picturesque view of an otherwise monotonous setting, a testament to his artistic flair.
Fung Yow Chork is considered one of the finest impressionists in the country. At the age of 13, he was taught by a teacher who had studied Impressionism in Japan. He befriended Professor Chung Pak Mook of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Art, Singapore. Some of his solo exhibitions were held at The Art Gallery, Penang (1998), Rupa Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (1983), Australian High Commission, Kuala Lumpur (1982), Chin Woo Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (1981). He was awarded Second Prize, Merdeka Independence Trade Fair’s Art and Photographic Exhibition (1957).
