Life is made up of small pleasures. Happy Hours captures the musical rhythms played by a family enjoying their leisure quality time. The work contains Eng Tay’s signature figures dressed in local attire, suggesting memories of home and childhood. The artist succeeds in revealing the harmony of life preserved through poetic images. New York-based Eng Tay studied at the Art Students League (1968-1972) and the School of Visual Arts, both in New York. He had nearly 100 solos in Asia, Europe and the United States. He worked as a graphic designer for the Red Book magazine until 1978 when he decided to go fulltime. He was given a Retrospective by Galeri Petronas in 2009. It was called Eng Tay: The Exhibition. His works are in the collection of the Fukuyama Museum of Art, Hiroshima, in Japan; the Taipei Fine Art Museum in Taiwan; the Frankie Valli Estate, the Merv Griffin Estate and the New York University. He has monumental sculptures in Kiaraville and SENI condominiums in Mont Kiara, Zehn Bukit Pantai in Bangsar and the Marc Residences near KLCC.
