Rumah Kampung is Lui Cheng Thak's personal rendition of traditional architecture infused with signature elements such as the birdcage, batik sarong, and local foliage. The work is a romantic portrayal of a Malay traditional abode nestled among the green landscape. An elderly figure could be seen feeding his roosters at the left. Cheng Thak has been a fulltime artist ever since he graduated from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. His forte is with extolling the architectural heritage as livable abodes and in his own inimitable style of lush grandeur and romance. He also paints about the disappearing trades such as the itinerant roti man or pasembur hawker. He held his first solo called As I Was Passing at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur in 1997 and among recent, Jalan-Jalan 2, was held at PinkGuy Gallery in 2022, and Festive Seasons at the same gallery in 2023. His works are held in the collection of corporations, hotels and private collectors.
