Kampung Pantai Berserah is the oldest fisherman’s village in that area. It is filled with fishing activities as it is the main source of income for the people. People are seen resting under the gazebo. The artist brilliantly captured the lighting and shadow effect. On hot sunny day, it’s a bliss to be under the shades.
Yong Look Lam obtained a double Diploma from the Kuala Lumpur College of Art (Painting, 1982 & Watercolours, 1983). He was adjudged 2nd runner-up in the prestigious Malaysia UOB Painting of the Year in 2011 besides 2nd Prize in the Malaysian Landscape art competition organised jointly by the National Art Gallery and Public Finance in 1984. He was also one of the three major winners of the Malaysian Watercolour Society (MWS) Awards in 1987. He was a founding member of the MWS. He is the president of the Negeri Sembilan Art Society (founded in 1965) and manager of the Willow Art Centre in Negeri Sembilan. |
