Description
It is the fruit season and the big baskets are brimming with inviting, ripe rambutans. Seng Non was taught by Professor Chan Hoi Ying (1918-2010) at the Hong Kong Academy of Fine Arts in Hong Kong. Chan, in turn, was taught by Li Tie Fu (1869-1952), reputed to be one of the earliest artists from China to be exposed to Western Art abroad. Seng Non himself is adept at painting portraits, carps and still lifes. He is also president of the Penang Oil Painting Society (POPS) which he set up in 2002.
