Chang Fee Ming is renowned for his intricate watercolour paintings. As a teenager, he worked at his brother-in-law's signboard shop in Kuala Terengganu, and learned to paint by tagging along with members of Singapore's Equator Art Society, a social-realist group, on their outdoor painting trips in the early 1980s. He has stayed with one subject for forty years: the ordinary people of the Terengganu coast and the wider region, painted in watercolour, a medium most artists treat as preparatory rather than serious. He is now regarded as one of Asia's leading watercolourists. This is an early work, painted in 1997 at miniature scale: a fisherman's household resting under an awning on a raised bamboo platform. Chang has said it was the batik his subjects wore, reflected in the seawater as they hauled their boats, that first taught him how colour works. House Goat belongs to the world he knows from the inside rather than from travel, which is why the attention falls on the unremarkable: the slack hour between tides, the people who rarely sit for a national portrait.
