An intimate portrait of child creating a picture from his own imagination, in the act of drawing and colouring. Yu Chian used bright colours, including variations of orange, yellow and green tones to depict the colourful world envisioned by the child. The child is focused at making his drawing, expressing his thoughts through lines and colours onto paper. Chia Yu Chian made his mark in Paris, when he was given a French Government scholarship, to study at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris in February 1959-1962. In Paris, he had the distinction of his works being accepted for exhibitions 15 times, a few even with honorary mentions (Salon des Independents and the Societe des Artistes Francaise). Apart from solos in Paris (Galerie de Villiers and the Salon de Paris), he also exhibited in London (Britain) and Hanover (West Germany) in 1960. In Paris, he was commissioned to do a grand mural titled Life In Malaysia for the Malaysian Embassy. Although he held a successful solo exhibition on his return, at the British Council in Penang, his major exhibitions were at the National Art Gallery (1989), Kuala Lumpur; the Memorial Exhibition at The Art Gallery, Penang (1997); the Chia Yu Chian In Nanyang exhibition (Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore, 2009), the grand exhibition held by the family, Chia Yu Chian Enlivened (Selangor-Federal Territory Chinese Assembly Hall, 2017); and Chia Yu Chian: Private Lives (Ilham Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, 2019).
