Lot description
Known for working en plein-air, Peter Liew paints in gestural strokes with thick impasto layers applied by palette knife and brush which create dynamic movement. The painting illustrates a scene of an old village in Canton, China. As an avid traveller his paintings are mostly inspired by nature and heritage buildings. His other works revolve around old architecture, quaysides and recently, landscape portraits. Peter Liew was educated at the Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA, 1976-1979, Best Student 1978), where he taught from 1981 to 1994. He has several solos since his first at Art House Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, in 1981, and a solo in Skopje, Macedonia, in 2002, after being invited to the art colony in Debrca, Belchrista and Macedonia in 2000. His recent solos were held at National Art Gallery Malaysia and Wisma Kebudayaan Soka Gakkai Malaysia.
