The scene of the ornately carved building is in Penang. Lee Weng Fatt inserts the hawker stall at the far end to divert attention to the five-foot way of the Baba House with its Straits Eclectic Baroque with its ornate wall and pillar carvings and Malacca Peranakan tiles. For good measure, he adds his trademark white doves, for a cheerful ambient and to animate the space.
Weng Fatt graduated with a Diploma in Art & Design at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. He started painting in watercolours before switching to oil in 1995. His first solo was at the Art Salon, Kuala Lumpur, called Harng Kai/Jalan Jalan in 1994, then at other venues in Kuala Lumpur like Joshua Fine Art Gallery (2000), Art House (2004) and TJ Fine Art (2010).
