Lot description

Jehan explored themes of traditional Malaysian life, portraying wooden houses on stilts with a distinctive visual language. Rows of houses, closely nestled together, are rendered in mesmerising tones and set against a backdrop of vibrant ochre and sienna hues. The work is enhanced through techniques that impart a distinctive textural quality.
