Inspired by the natural scenery in the rural village, the paintings of Yip Sek Quai reveal his affinity for the local landscape. The immersive views of the countryside are direct observations, finely modelled with robust brushstrokes. He carved his own identity in the landscape genre, combining several pictorial elements such as the warmth of the tropical sunshine, traditional abodes enveloped by trees, mountains, and fishing villages to evoke the concept of homeland, and poetic atmosphere of the past. Finding inspiration in nature, he captured the village surroundings and people with intricate renderings of vegetation. Yip Sek Quai completed his education at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1970. His solo exhibition was held at Xin Art Space in 2019.
