Best known for his works of quaint architectural facades, Lui paints the happenings and scenes typically found around old colonial shophouses. The artist has captured the relaxing atmosphere of a local street with superb attention for detail. The artwork contains Lui Cheng Thak’s signature style, with skillful treatment of light and shadow cast on the buildings, local people and food stalls. 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 ten consecutive solos with PINKGUY Gallery (Final Till The End Of Time in 2020, Pristine in 2019, Touched in 2018, Endless in 2017 etc), which received excellent results. He had a record of sort in his Redeem solo exhibition at PINKGUY in 2014 when all 12 works were sold within 18 minutes of opening!
