The woolly brown textures enhance the creature comfort of the two adults embracing on the plush sofa, with palpable coldness in the air. The child is seen clasping his hands together. Perhaps, the baby fat of the plumb body will suffice. Indoors, all wrapped up and cuddled up from the chilly winds outside, and with the heater on, the occupants appear contented as can be gleaned from their faces. It's one of the drawbacks, if at all, in staying in places which have autumn and winter. Eng Tay, nee Tay Eng Chye, made a beeline for the Big Apple, studying at the Art Students League (1968-1972) and the School of Visual Arts (1972-1978), both in New York. He first made his mark in printmaking, before embarking on paintings, large canvases, and monumental sculptures in bronze. With nearly 100 solos in the United States and Europe and Asia, he travelled extensively. In 2009, he was accorded a Retrospective by Galeri Petronas called simply, Eng Tay: The Exhibition. His monumental sculptures in Kuala Lumpur adorn the Kiaraville SENI condominiums in Mont Kiara, the Zehn condominium in Pantai Hills and Marc condominium near KLCC. His works are in the collection of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum; the Fukuyama Museum of Art, Hiroshima in Japan; the Frankie Valli Estate (United States); the Merv Griffin Estate (United States); and the New York University.
