Best known for his works of quaint architectural facades, here Lui paints the happenings and scenes typically found around old Chinese shophouses. Here we see a row of colonial shophouses, with the first floor used as cafes and commercial shops that conserve its heritage. The artist has captured the relaxing atmosphere of a local street with superb attention for detail. The artwork contains Lui Cheng Thak’s signature style, with skillful treatment of light and shadow cast on the buildings, local people and exquisite bird cages placed by the window. His recent solo showcase at a booth in Art Expo Malaysia 2019 received well responses and good remarks.
