| Synopsis : | Inspired by the Geopark landscape in Langkawi, first to be declared in Malaysia and Southeast Asia as an UNESCO Geopark, Anthony Chan Sai Weng draws upon a wealth of natural beauty to create an expressive and vivid interpretation in abstract. From the inherent rock formation found in the landscape, the inland mountains and caves that make up the Machinchang range which dates back some 400 - 550 million years ago, Anthony rediscovers the natural beauty of the land, the people and their culture in his latest series. The exhibition will showcase 30 new paintings in oils on linen from 2007/8. Soon after his teacher training course in 1971 Anthony Chan Sai Weng was posted to teach secondary school at Sekolah Menegah Mahsuri, Langkawi. It was then when he first glimpsed upon the folkloric and eerie ancient landscape that is associated with the island of Langkawi. His return last year to re explore the islands was the inspiration for his new works. Langkawi’s interesting ancient heritage of rock formations, landscapes, fauna and flora, form the basis of Anthony’s creation. He uses different strokes, lines, textures, colours and tones to evoke moods, emotions and feelings rather than what the physical world looks like. Each painting is painted spontaneously and intuitively from memories and thoughts in direct response to his personal experiences and research. |
