Eston Tan draws inspiration from nature, landscapes and cityscapes, capturing the emotion and feeling of a particular moment in time. In this artwork, the brushwork displayed is remarkably confident and free, illustrating wooden houses amidst a peaceful landscape, with the artist’s signature flourishes of daubs, strokes and dots. Eston Tan has established himself for his large canvases of landscapes, aerial perspective of cityscapes and building facades with activities, with his often nocturnal veneer and dots. Eston Tan obtained his Diploma from the Malaysian Institute of Art, Kuala Lumpur, in 1991, and the One Academy, Petaling Jaya (1992-1993). He won the Minor Award in the Penang Young Talent competition in 1999, and clinched the Major Award the next year. The artist has held numerous solo and group exhibitions both locally and internationally, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vienna.
