Lot description

Eastern Sun reflects the artist's internalisation of the landscape, translated into a series of simplified abstract forms. The colour red has long been associated with the rising sun, which appears suffused with red and orange hues at daybreak. The composition is anchored by a palette of warm reddish-brown tones, subtly intercepted by accents of purple that add depth. Sanip is a veteran artist who has painted for over 60 years. He completed his studies at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore in 1961. His is a lifelong devotion to landscape with series such as Sri Mersing, Endau-Rompin, Gunung Ledang and Gelorasa. He was also a past president of the Johor Artists Society and the Johor Historical Society.
