Yap Kim Boon, better known as the Helicornia Man, is adept at the vast landscapes and architectural heritage, with his thick impastos with his palette knife. Of main concern to him is the sense of movement with an almost 3D textures, and the light. In recent years, he has also tackled the bougainvillea, the paper flowers. He has been a fulltime artist for some 18 years now. |
