Lot description
Memories of neighbourhood shops offering a range of essentials featuring shoes, magazines, and bread etc are deftly illustrated here. The work is painted in soft colours, evoking a relaxed atmosphere of an old street, filled with a community of people who appreciate the little things in life. It was a time where people used to travel by bicycles, before George Town became a major tourist destination, its streets later became filled with crowds on weekends. With many solo exhibitions along his journey as an artist, Alex Leong has been actively participating in group exhibitions locally and abroad, e.g. Singapore, China, Indonesia, and Korea. His solo exhibitions include Watercolour On Canvas (2022), Celebrations & Nostalgic Moments, The Art Gallery Penang (2020), Magic Moments, Jada Art Gallery, Ion Art Gallery, Singapore (2018). His watercolour compositions of famous street scenes in Malaysia are well sought after by collectors.
