221014 谢玉谦油画吉隆坡公路边 Chia Yu Chian Oil Painting Highway Side Kuala Lumpur USD2000-4000 51x60cm Chia Yu Chian was born in Malaysia in 1936, and spent his formative years pursuing his education in Singapore. He graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in Singapore, and went on to become the first artist from the Straits Settlements to receive a scholarship from the French government, advancing his Fine Art training at the École Nationale des Beaux Arts de Paris. Chia took much of his artistic inspiration from familiar local scenes, painting mostly episodes from daily village life, and the vast tropical landscapes of the region. Having studied in both Paris and Singapore, Chia’s works straddle the divide between East and West – bringing together the subtle gradation of colours typical of the Chinese palette, with the visible brushstrokes and use of impasto favoured in Paris. While at NAFA, Chia studied Western painting under pioneer master artists Cheong Soo Pieng and Chen Wen Hsi where he was influenced and inspired by both masters and their efforts to harmonise the differing styles.
