On offer is a special UV print of Lui Cheng Thak's old time-warp Straits Eclectic architecture in the glow of cream-coloured patina. The heady mix of old colonial facades with the carved pilasters, balcony balustrades and louvre entrances tell of a bygone era of the Pre-War days. The architecture is typical of the more populated Straits Settlement enclaves in Penang, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore in the early eighteenth century with some owned by the nouveau riche sinkehs from China who made their fortune by dint of their sweat, wit and perseverance. Cheng Thak has been a fulltime artist ever since he graduated from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. His forte is with extolling the architectural heritage as livable abodes and in his own inimitable style of lush grandeur and romance. He also paints about the disappearing trades such as the itinerant roti man or pasembur hawker. He held his first solo called As I Was Passing at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur in 1997 and among recent, Jalan-Jalan 2, was held at PinkGuy Gallery in 2022, and Festive Seasons at the same gallery in 2023. His works are held in the collection of corporations, hotels and private collectors.
