A watercolourist with a great eye for detail, Chow Chin Chuan’s deep fascination towards the bicycle — one of the world’s oldest modes of transportation — and for depicting traditional Malaysian abodes is apparent in his works. Here, Chin Chuan illustrates an old bicycle nicely parked in front of an old shop. The excellent details of the bicycle appear rustic and vintage in condition complemented with an old umbrella placed to the side. His works often bring nostalgic memories of how cycling is a common vehicle back in the days. Thus, the subject matter is close to the artist’s heart as they remind him of his father and childhood. Chow Chin Chuan obtained Diploma’s in Fine Art and Figure Design from Kuala Lumpur College of Art (1982-1983). He has held eleven solo exhibitions to date which included his first titled Tribute To The Bicycle in 2002 and most recently Flavor at The One Gallery in 2018. He has participated in group exhibitions abroad in Indonesia, India, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Sweden. He was the recipient of Consolation Prize for the Sin Chew Press Cartoon Contest in 1989 and Minor Award at the Young Contemporaries, National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 1990.
