Golden Malacca represents one of the more powerful works from Peter Liew’s major exhibition, Journey Into Landscape, and from his Malacca Series. It was his first major success after going full-time into painting again in October 1994. It was also a time when he started “sculpting” his paintings with the palette knife, which has become his trademark. Peter Liew has since gone painting all over the world – in the United States, New Zealand, China, Macedonia, France and more recently, Italy.
