A synthesis of Western style oil technique, Balinese colour rubbing method, and Chinese style painting, Huang Fong’s representation of nature and man reflect universal experiences in life. In Dua Dara Ke Pasar, graceful lines of the female figures and beautiful patterns of clothing are rendered in detail, evoking a calm atmosphere. The gentle effects of light and subtle use of colours unify the composition, imbuing the work with a sense of lyricism.
Huang Fong’s artistic journey began in early 1963, when he explored the island of Bali. He stayed in Ubud where he became acquainted with artists like Anton Huang, Abdul Azis, OH Supono, Tedja Suminar, Affandi and Hendra Gunawan. Huang Fong has exhibited in many countries including the Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. His exhibition titled “Paradiso 50: Surga Yang Tercipta Dari 50 Tahun Berkarya” (Paradiso 50: 50 Years’ Creation Of Paradise) was held at Balai Budaya Jakarta in 2018.
