The essence of Asian culture is on full display with elaborate details deftly illustrated on the bright coloured porcelain. Here, we can see the intricate textures of a tablecloth placed with an arrangement of antique porcelain which brings out the harmony in his works. Through his compositions one would reminisce the grandeur of culture and heritage.
Yap Chin Hoe demonstrated his talent at an early age --- before he graduated from the Malaysian Institute of Art in 1991, his work has netted him awards, and was displayed in 1990’s Young Contemporary Artists Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur. With a double major in oil painting and printmaking, Yap puts a spin on the Western still life, employing Oriental porcelain and creatures as his theme. |
