In conjunction with the year of the tiger, Long Thien Shih pays tribute to legendary beauty Rose Chan, the first striptease dancer from Malaya to gain international fame. She was also renowned as the Goddess of tiger show, performing brave acts such as the “Python Act” where she wrestled with a python. She established Grace Home, a voluntary shelter home based in Klang for the homeless and destitute women. A force to be reckoned with, she donated part of her earnings to charity, helping children and old folks’ homes, the blind, and patients in need. Long Thien Shih won a French government scholarship to study art in 1966 and was enrolled in the internationally renowned printmaking studio Atelier 17, founded by William Stanley Hayter, a prominent figure in British Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. Long was honoured with a retrospective exhibition titled Man Of The Times at National Art Gallery Malaysia in 2014. In 2018, he participated in a group exhibition titled The Art Of Printmaking: Lasting Impressions, which was held at Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur.
