The captivating photorealist portrait of an elderly woman is rendered against a monochromatic background, with a subtle, nuanced play of light. The subject is drawn from indigenous communities living in the rainforests of Sarawak, whose traditional way of life is rapidly disappearing due to deforestation and logging. As their access to natural resources diminishes, so too does their intimate knowledge of the forest. This portrait brings the woman vividly to life, capturing the delicate details of her features, fine hair, and traditional jewellery, while conveying the emotions of the lady and the culture of the tribes on canvas. 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 solo called Vanishing Jungle Childhood was held at RKFA in July 2020.
