Mansor Ghazalli illustrates a street scene in watercolours, revealing scenes from daily life. The leaning tower of Teluk Intan, seen in the background, was built in 1885, which also functions as a clock tower, besides a famous tourist spot. The construction of the tower was funded by local residents, symbolising unity within the community in the town. By capturing swift impressions of the effects of sun cast shadows, Mansor captures the charm of a picturesque city. As a child in school, Mansor Ghazalli had a tendency to indulge in drawing and creativity. Although he did not receive support from school, his father encouraged him to pursue his talent and continue drawing. Mansor studied at Clifford School Kuala Kangsar before joining Institut Latihan Perguruan in Johor (1952), later joining the Specialist Teachers Institute in Kuala Lumpur. He was claimed to be one of the earliest Malay students majoring in architecture in Brighton, England in 1962. Mansor’s work is characterised by his ability to inject an exhilaration and feeling of deep affection for the natural environment, painting with the aims of showing his appreciation for the beauty of nature and architecture.
