With an interest in depicting old, heritage, colonial buildings found within the city, Lui created this work of a house / shoplot built in the Straits Eclectic style. The intricate structure offers insight into the rich heritage of the communities of the past, along with the technical innovations embedded within. This work contains Lui's hallmark manner of portraying birdcages, ornamental tiles, wooden louvred windows and batik sarongs that are typical of a bygone era, which conveys a spirit that transcends time. His distinctive palette containing earthy colours of brown and green enhances the atmosphere. Lui studied at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art from 1987 to 1989. His early solos were As I Was Passing (Hotel Istana, organised by Pelita Hati), Our Heritage (Rusli Hashim Fine Art, 2001), As I Was Passing II (Galeri Citra, 2006), Circles: Nostalgia and Collective Memory (White Box Publika, 2014). This was followed by consecutive solos with Pinkguy Gallery. He had a record of sorts in his Redeem solo exhibition at Pinkguy in 2014 when all 12 works were sold within 18 minutes of opening!
