Focusing on people at work by the sea, Goh Lye Hock presents the diligent nature of fishermen and the surrounding vistas. Painted with a realistic approach, the artist depicts the spirit of teamwork utilised to carry the large boat onto the shore. His impeccable skill is shown through the details, depth, composition, light and shadow effect. Goh 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.
