This unique acrylic on canvas depicts a vivid landscape, thick vegetation and the frontier on the undulating landscape. The hills are boldly painted with a variety of brushstrokes, fused with broad patches of colour. Raphael, the master of the Sarawak natural landscapes, is known for his distinct palette of colours. From his secluded studio in Bau, Sarawak, Raphael Scott Ahbeng painted on a variety of subjects and styles, with his métier being abstract. Given his first solo in 1954, he took up an Art and Photography course at the Bath Academy of Fine Art in England (1964-1967). He also took up Drama in London in 1973 under a Sarawak Government scholarship. His awards include 1st Prize in the Sarawak Shell Open (1959, 1982, 1983), and 3rd Prize in the Natural Malaysia art competition in Kuala Lumpur in 1991. A Bidayuh, RSA, as he is sometimes known, is an artist (professional since 1990), a teacher, a photographer, a newspaper cartoonist and a radio producer. His solo exhibition Legend: A Borneo Artist at Pinkguy Gallery, showcases the complete oeuvre of Raphael's 60 years of work. This is a magnificent example of nature at its best.
