Rapahel is one of the most established Borneo artists, well known for his highly imaginative semi abstract landscapes. In this piece titled Capitalism a bright red enormous flower like image appeared in the center of the dark background. The flower seems to be in control of its surroundings whilst dispersing its pollen through air. In addition to the title it does seem like a case of capitalism. From his secluded studio in Bau, Sarawak, Raphael Scott Ahbeng painted on a variety of subjects and styles, with his métier being abstract. Given his first solo in 1954, he took up an Art and Photography course at the Bath Academy of Fine Art in England (1964-1967). He also took up Drama in London in 1973 under a Sarawak Government scholarship. His awards include 1st Prize in the Sarawak Shell Open (1959, 1982, 1983), and 3rd Prize in the Natural Malaysia art competition in Kuala Lumpur in 1991. A Bidayuh, RSA, as he was sometimes known, was an artist (professional since 1990), a teacher, a photographer, a newspaper cartoonist and a radio producer. His solo exhibition Legend: A Borneo Artist at Pinkguy Gallery, showcased the complete oeuvre of Raphael’s 60 years of work.
