It's a mystical optical play, enigmatic and fresh, a cacophony of fragile vertical lines, differently coloured in stages and with balms of ink-like splotches. Landscapist and imbued in Nature, fine delicate textures create a certain mood from this propensity for "fleshing abstraction", as the artist Yeoh Choo Kuan labelled his aesthetic interventions. As he intoned, generally: "I want to create a landscape that is charging with convergence of colours, a diversity." Nothing superficial or physical. But some sort of lyrical happenstance divulged by Nature, through layers and layers of consciousness. Dematerialised forms. A fortuitous glimpse caught in a walk by the woods? Yeoh Choo Kuan became an abstract acolyte after a chance visit to the Pompidou Centre in Paris in 2011, being exposed to the works of Cy Twombly, Mark Rothko and Constantin Brancusi, among others. Educated at Dasein College of Art, Kuala Lumpur (2010), he held his first solo, Private Sentiment, at HOM Art Trans in KL in 2012, after which he joined Richard Koh Fine Art, where he had few solos (2017, 2019 etc). He also had a solo, Lights, at Tang Contemporary Art in Bangkok (2018) and A Day And Forever solo at the 2020 Art Basel Hong Kong. His works will be exhibited in the prestigious Art Basel Hong Kong 2023.
