Executed in charcoal and pencil on paper, Tan Wei Kheng brilliantly captures the beautiful portrait of a woman flaunting her traditional earrings confidently. The details of her wrinkles further enhance the beauty of this piece. Through the canvas of Tan Wei Kheng, the world is appraised of the lot of the Penan, Kenyah, Kayan, Kelabit, Iban and other tribes, in the flesh, all eking a living in the deep Sarawak interiors. Wei Kheng found fame in 2009 in an exhibition in Zurich, Switzerland (Gallery Avanthay Contemporary), when all his portraits of the indigenous people in Sarawak were sold out. Self-taught, he held his first solo at the Miri Boat Club (1991), followed by Hilton Hotel Kuching (1992), Holiday Inn Miri (1993), Rihga Royal Hotel Miri (1994), Hornbill House Miri (2001), Art House Gallery Kuala Lumpur (2003), Panaga Club, Brunei (2009), Metro Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur (2012). His latest solo called Vanishing Jungle Childhood was held at RKFA in July 2020.
