Three figures flying over the moon with a dreamy bluish tint, timeless, and with all three the faces with eyes wide open towards viewer. The floating forms recall Marc Chagall, but for Sui Hoe it is a flight of fancy and an exhilarating sense of freedom. They seem to be in search of something in the boundless yonder. What? That’s not important, just floating and floating like an errant dirigible but in slow-mo. Khoo Sui Hoe has dwelled on such theme since his Cameron Flying Series from June 1979. He is the perennial professional artist since he graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Art in Singapore in 1961 — arguably the longest record in Malaysia and Singapore. After Nanyang Academy of Fine Art, Singapore, Khoo Sui Hoe studied at the Pratt Graphic Centre under the John D. Rockefeller III Fund award. He won Honourable Mention in the 1969 Salon Malaysia and 1st Prize (oil) in the Malaysian Art & Craft competition in 1965. Khoo is also the spiritual leader of the Utara Group, formed in 1977. He was in charge of the Alpha Gallery Singapore in 1972, which was revived in Penang in 2004 as the Alpha Utara Gallery. He was honoured with a Retrospective by the Penang State Art Gallery in 2007, a mini retros given by The Art Gallery Penang in 2013, which was followed by another given by Soka Gakkai Kuala Lumpur, and a two-part Overview at the Private Museum in Singapore in 2015.
