Lot description

Lui Cheng Thak produced his first Bali series upon returning from an inspirational trip to Bali in 2001. Featuring the daily ritual of prayers and offerings to Hindu Gods performed by locals, this series captures the mesmerising ceremony of the rituals, the beauty of the Balinese women as well as the captivating ambience of the surroundings and architecture. Cheng Thak has been a fulltime artist ever since he graduated from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. His forte is with extolling the architectural heritage as livable abodes and in his own inimitable style of lush grandeur and romance. He also paints about the disappearing trades such as the itinerant roti man or pasembur hawker. He held his first solo called As I Was Passing at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur in 1997 and among recent, Jalan-Jalan 2, was held at PinkGuy Gallery in 2022, and Festive Seasons at the same gallery in 2023. His works are held in the collection of corporations, hotels and private collectors.
