Lot description

Kwan Chin is a Malaysian batik master who adds his own twist of Nanyang style to his works. In general, Kwan Chin’s paintings are filled with bright colours and exquisite use of contrasting tones. For a short period of time in his life, he worked as a commercial artist but soon turned to oil painting and then to batik, working as a professional artist. The artwork demonstrates Kwan Chin’s ability to encapsulate a family playing with a bird, presented in notable geometric shapes, vivid colours and brilliant patterns. Similar to his other works, the extraordinary usage of sprawling broken lines to mimic batik art is what sets Kwan Chin’s paintings apart – making it one needed in every art enthusiast’s collection.
