The mangosteens (Garcinia Mangostana) spilling out from the bag on the table look deliciously tempting, but if the purplish rind is too hard, the tropical fruit cannot be squeezed open yet. Maybe a day more, and the edible exocarp could be heavenly: the taste is described as a sweet combination of strawberry, peach and vanilla. While some show purplish rinds, a few near the opened paper bag look overly ripe with the rind in jaded grey-brown. The artist Goh Lye Hock has contrasted the rinds well against the dull green sepals, highlighted with striated streaks of reddish brown. The mangosteen is said to be rich in antioxidants and is able to reduce cholesterol. Many might not know that this fruit originated in Indonesia. The fruits are put on top of an oblong wooden table set against a wall with cracking sepia-toned textures. Lye Hock, who is now based in Johor, graduated from the Kuala Lumpur College of Art. He has won several awards in competitions such as Saksi at the National Art Gallery in 2003, and Pemandangan Malaysia in 1994. His first four of six solos were held at the City Art Gallery in 2005 (Kuala Lumpur and Malacca) and 2008 and 2011 in Kuala Lumpur. The others were at the New Straits Times’ Balai Berita in 2002 and the Sentosa Department Store in 2000. Goh was included in the Malaysian art exhibition in Beijing in 1996, and took part in the International Art Expo Malaysia from 2012 to 2016, besides the Asian International Art Exhibition all over Asia from 1997 to 2013.
