Lui Cheng Thak created a pair of artworks depicting rare vintage baskets. Made from bamboo and wicker, these hand painted baskets are richly decorated with elegant motifs of pomegranates and peonies motifs. The works serve as a documentation of objects from traditional culture that were used during festivities and celebrations. Cheng Thak has been a fulltime artist ever since he graduated from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. His forte is with extolling the architectural heritage as livable abodes and in his own inimitable style of lush grandeur and romance. He also paints about the disappearing trades such as the itinerant roti man or pasembur hawker. He held his first solo called As I Was Passing at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur in 1997, Jalan-Jalan 2, was held at PinkGuy Gallery in 2022, and Festive Seasons at the same gallery in 2023. His works are held in the collection of corporations, hotels and private collectors.
