It was a time of the traditional Chinaman-run sundry-shops with five-foot ways before being made obsolete by mini-markets and supermarkets. The artist, Lee Weng Fatt known for his works of heritage architectural facades, remembers the time he helped his shopkeeper father in his shop in Jalan Panggong (near Petaling Street). Two large baskets (what’s the content inside?) are stacked on a tricycle, while another is left on the street-side. The tattered condition of the roller bamboo chicks blinds hints of a waning business, while a clump of rogue plants grows on top of the pediments on the left. But the memories, as shown by the blurry effects, are sweet. Lee Weng Fatt graduated with a Diploma in Art & Design at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. He started painting watercolours before switching to oil in 1995. His first solo was at the Art Salon, Kuala Lumpur, called Harng Kai /Jalan Jalan in 1994, then at other venues in Kuala Lumpur like Joshua Fine Art Gallery (2000), Art House (2004) and TJ Fine Art (2010).
