Born in Baigong, Caozhu, 1906. Chen Wen Hsi studied art at the Hsin Hwa Art Academy in

Shanghai. He became a lecturer at the Nangyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore. His paintings

were strongly influenced by Chan (Zen) and the unorthodox Qing School of Yangzhou. He actively

the National Museum of History, Taiwan in 1980, the first recipient of the ASEAN Cultural and

Communication Award for outstanding artists in 1987 and received an honorary doctorate from

the National University of Singapore.

Chen Wen Hsi is Singapores foremost painter that combines Chinese and Western techniques in

his semi abstract work. Chen Wen-hsi is renowned for his skill in painting animal themes. Chicken,

gibbons, herons, carps and squirrels are some of his favourite subjects. Numerous solo and group

exhibitions were held in Singapore and around the world. Wen Hsis artistic excellence was rec-

ognized. Wen Hsis constant eagerness to strike for something new led him to learn finger painting

a technique that dates from the Tang Dynasty. This drawing style has enabled him to produce

unpredictable broken stroke on paper. He developed his skill in finger painting, ink-and-brush, oil,

sketches, abstracts and semi-abstract techniques. Every subject he paints, whether lotuses, gibbons,

egrets, monkeys, squirrels, birds, or flowers and trees, is palpably vibrant.

The influence of great masters can be seen in Lee Cheng Yongs

previous works. From Cezenne to Picasso, traces of influence can

be seen in his art as Cheng Yong continued to define art which can

be associated with 20th century Malaysia. This painting of Fishermen,

Cheng Yong managed all that by taking a scene associated with Ma-

laysia and stripping it down to its bare minimum. Even his choice

of colours was radical at that time as it was bold, contrasting, bares

resemblance to the De Stijl movement. It is Lee Cheng Yongs cour-

age and interpretation of art that helped pave the way for abstract

art in Malaysia.

Mat Ali graduated from University Technology Mara (UiTM) with a Bachelor of Fine Art in 1998 and has since gained fame as both an artist and a sculptor. Mat Alis love for Malay traditional martial arts, Silat, has been extended to the notion of creative manifestation. His subjects for both canvas and sculptor have always been surrounding Silat, the traditional Malay martial arts. Shrouded with mysticism, Mat Ali has taken the art of sculpturing to new heights with the level of detail and complexities in his intricate studies of the human figure. This love for Silat and detailed works can be seen throughout the Unsung Heroes series (2013). Mat Ali has participated in numerous exhibitions including the Young and New, House of Matahati (2009), his solo show Dendam Tak Sudah, Metro Fine Art Gallery (2010), Artriangle, National Art Gallery Malaysia (2010), A Meter Diameter, House of Matahati (2012), and Lineage, Art Accent Gallery (2012).

Khaw Sia gained fame and recognition after his first solo exhibition of landscapes

and Balinese women in 1955 and through this painting we can see why. Painted

with oil, this painting portrays all the grace associated with a Balinese woman. Her

fingers have such a deft touch they are barely touching each other, her sexuality

accentuated by her figure and pout lips, her love of nature represented by the

exotic flowers surrounding her, and all this not forgetting her culture and supersti-

tious as can be seen by the statue right behind her. In Bali, Khaw Sia manages to

not only capture the beauty of a Balinese woman but everything that defines her.

Yusof GhaniAfter working on Hijau series for four years, Yusof Ghani returned to explore the human figure under the series of paintings New Protest Series. Always one to document the changing times, Yusof Ghani placed emphasis on the documentation of human movement to capture historical and social commentary. None more significant than this masterpiece, 050513. Completed on 5th May 2013, it captures the movement of a very significant date in Malaysian history; the 13th General Elections. There were much excitement to the buildup towards the elections, it was highly anticipated and the turnout was the highest in history. Yusof Ghani captured all this with this painting. The shift in the political arena can be seen as the ruling party is represented in blue. Standing tall and resilient, they seem determined to resist sea of change. The sea of change, which comes in the form of the opposition coalition, is represented by the three figures behind which are intertwined with colours as it to represent their parties and unity. The outcome of which was despite their efforts, the ruling party still stands, with a smaller majority. The light colour palette reflects the vibrant environment the generated by General Elections had and the brushstrokes which is rash and free flowing reflects the eagerness of Malaysians for a change.

Bayu Utomos contribution to the Malaysian art industry cannot be understated. Graduating from Mara Institute of Technology (UiTM) with a degree in Fine Art, Bayu Utomo is not just an artist but a sculptor as well. A founding member of Matahari, an independent art space for resident and emerging artist, Bayu Utomo announced himself to the world after his solo exhibition Bayu Utomo Radjikin: Solo Exhibition of Paintings, National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 1996. Bayu Utomo has since gone one to hold seven solo exhibitions and the numerous awards he has received includes a highly coveted Major Award for the Young Contemporary Art Competition, National Art Gallery, in 1991, Honourable Mentions in both the 1994 and 1995 Philip Morris Malaysian Art Awards, and a Special Award for the 2005 One World No War competition, Kuala Lumpur.

Bayu Utomo continues to contribute to the art industry and has recently initiated the Malaysian Art Archive and Research Support (MARS) in an attempt to preserve, compile, and archive materials related to Malaysian visual arts. Here we have an early piece, a self-portrait, which illustrates the artist himself. Its collage texture provides not only a refreshing visualization, but is an indication of the sculptor in the artist himself. Painted with a dark palette, it reflects the seriousness the artist view himself. The portrait is given a fixed gaze, and its face painted with such determination, as if the artist is saying even back then that he will one day make his mark in the Malaysian art industry.

the Front Seniman (Artists Front) in Bandung, and Pelukis Rakyat (Peoples Artists) in Yogyakarta. He also established the art club

Pusaka Sunda together with Barli, Obon and some other friends. He is undoubtedly one of the Indonesias greatest pioneers of

modern art and was considered to be one of the best and most versatile painters in Indonesia. He died in Bali 1983.

Hendra Gunawan created paintings conveying his great feelings and deepest emotions for his country and people. He inspired his

paintings with sympathy, compassion, and affection about common people. Portrays of women figures, sellers or mother and child

were on old theme that constantly revisited throughout the artists career.

Hendra figures are types, not clearly distinguishable individuals. He used exaggerated profiles, with long necks, protruding noses,

and large eyes, echoes the stylization of human form found in wayang. Hendras people are never passive victims of their faith; they

are always depicted as active subjects. He took the daily lives of people subjects for his paintings and captured them movingly on

canvas in his inimitable style. Though Hendras art was, from the very beginning focused towards celebrating common people and

their struggle that depicts his deep feeling and irony inspiring perspective of lifes most fundamental issue: freedom and hunger,

Hendra also love the land and paint some in his several themes. Hendra later paintings are melancholic and emotional as a result of

the hardship that he experienced during his thirteen years in Bandung Kebon Waru prison. During his imprisoned time he painted

some of his most dreamlike, vibrant and emotional works. He illustrates the sadness and the mystery in a brighter, more saturated,

expressionistic and abstract.
