Better known for his works of quaint architectural facades, here Lui Cheng Thak paints the happenings and scenes typically found around old Chinese shophouses. Here we see workers busy handling their cargo, and bicycles as the de facto mode of transport. Meanwhile, the shophouses look well-worn and well-used, telling of their age. Lui Cheng Thak studied at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art from 1987 to 1989. His early solos were As I Was Passing (Hotel Istana, organised by Pelita Hati), Our Heritage (Rusli Hashim Fine Art, 2001), As I Was Passing II (Galeri Citra, 2006), Circles: Nostalgia and Collective Memory (White Box Publika, 2014). This was followed by consecutive solos with PINKGUY Gallery, the latest being, Touched (2018), and Endless (2017). He had a record of sort in his Redeem solo exhibition at PINKGUY Gallery in 2014 when all 12 works were sold within 18 minutes of opening.
