Raphael Scott Ahbeng's playful social commentaries are filled with colourful personas. He injects personality and a touch of humour into each of the compositions. Diamond Teeth Mac is sheer showing off of wealth, he could be rich, but not cultured. Orang Gila Politik refers to people who are crazy about politics, and politicians who are crazy for power, and would do anything to wield power and to cling on power. From his secluded studio in Bau, Sarawak, Raphael Scott Ahbeng painted on a variety of subjects and styles, with his metier being abstract. Given his first solo in 1954, he took up an Art and Photography course at the Bath Academy of Fine Art in England (1964-1967). He also took up Drama in London in 1973 under a Sarawak Government scholarship. His awards include 1st Prize in the Sarawak Shell Open (1959, 1982, 1983), and 3rd Prize in the Natural Malaysia art competition in Kuala Lumpur in 1991. A Bidayuh, RSA, as he is sometimes known, is an artist (professional since 1990), a teacher, a photographer, a newspaper cartoonist and a radio producer. His solo exhibition Legend: A Borneo Artist, showcases the complete oeuvre of Raphael's 60 years of work.
