The dreamy image is lodged in an oval-shaped bean-bag crucible of soft Baby Blue, like a romantic peep of a bygone era, straddling time and space and alluding to the period of 960 to 1279 during the Sung Dynasty in China. It has a nebulous natural landscape or conversely, a symbol of incessant strife as the centerpiece, the bottom half shrouded in misty hues. This work adorns the cover of Jolly Koh's eponymously titled catalogue in 2008, which is repeated on Page 108. It shares a kindred spirit with Linga Landscape (also 1999), tilted vertically at 122cm x 66cm. The pale blue is also present in works such as The Sun and Mountain (2000) and Philosopher's Garden II (2004). Artist-academician Jolly Koh first excelled in the legendary Magnificent 7 GRUP exhibition in Kuala Lumpur in 1967, and is best remembered for is milestone survey exhibition, Jolly Koh @ 76 (White Box, Publika, KL) in 2017, which was marked by a 350-page coffee table book. It was organised by Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers. His tutelage was at the Hornsey College of Art in London (national diploma in design, 1962), London University (teacher's certificate, 1993), Indian University in the United States (Doctor of Education and Master of Science, under a Fulbright scholarship, 1975 and 1973, and was also a teaching associate). He had taught briefly at the Mara Institute of Technology and Sabah's Gaya College before teaching Art in Melbourne and Adelaide and then back to Malaysia at the MSC College (Now SeGi College).
