Morning Glory depicts a balcony view on a quiet morning, drawing the eye towards a row of clothing hanging out to dry, accompanied by a bird cage and plants. The walls are illuminated with daylight, and the silhouette of trees is reflected on the building. A slow, relaxed pace of living is expressed in this tranquil composition.
Lui studied at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art from 1987-1989. 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 thirteen consecutive solos with Pinkguy Gallery. He had a record of sorts in his Redeem solo exhibition at Pinkguy in 2014 when all 12 works were sold within 18 minutes of opening!
