Chow Chin Chuan - Bicycle Man
Artist Chow Chin Chuan Born 1961 - has skillfully transferred to canvas poignant scenes from yesteryears. The paintings almost always star the humble bicycle, a vital transportation during earlier days. Among the working class and the poor, it was also one of the few valuable possessions they owned. In his brilliantly precise way, Chow expressly shows how the bicycle is indispensable namely to the diligent, elderly shopkeeper who uses it to deliver sundry goods from a box trapped to the carrying rack. He has also chosen to compose it against such evocative scenes as a traditional barber trimming the hair of his customer in a back lane of the sinewy, hardworking hands of a man crouching in an old shirt and pants. Drawn with such clarity and accuracy, the nostalgic sights of bygone days seem to come alive in Chow’s paintings.

Words from Artist :
Imej daripada kuasa akal dan jiwa yang menlahirkan kesan ekspresi terhada proses peniruan sama ada secara simplifikasi atau semi realistik.
Imitasi terhadap imajan tidak nyata dan semi abstraksi yang lahir di luar permukaan deria rasa adalah suatu yang tercetus mengikut kehendak naluri yang terdorong oleh perasaan tertentu.
Saya ingin melakukan banyak lapisan-lapisan yang berulang-ulang, bertindan dan bercantum menggunakan gerakrasa dan ilusi minda dalam mencari dan meneroka nilai estetik yang menyeronokkan atau misteri……….
Sedih, duka, nestapa, riang gembira, marah, gersang, kesunyian dan ketenangan adalah sebahagian dari sifat-sifat jiwa yang mempengaruhi karya saya dalam mencari kepuasan dan keredhaan………..

Ahmad Zakii Anwar
AHMAD ZAKII ANWAR
Ahmad Zakii Anwar (b. 1955, Malaysia) - better known as Zakii - has emerged as one of the most exciting, engaging and eloquent 'urban realist' artists in the region.
A graduate of the School of Art and Design, MARA Institute of Technology Malaysia, the artist began his career as a graphic artist, producing some of the leading advertising graphics of his time before turning to fine art practice.
Zakii came to attention for his virtuosity and command of a spectrum of media from charcoals to oils, building a reputation for stunning photo-realist still-life paintings and expressive portraits. Later, a more contemporary edge surfaced in his works as Zakii introduced urban subjects and settings into his canvases. He is lauded for capturing not just city motifs and urban features but also a distinctive psychological dimension and cinematic quality in these scenarios. Zakii's preoccupation with the spiritual or metaphysical aspects of urban life, as seen through his use of icons, symbols and allegories (including metaphors of theatre, performance and masks) have also marked his practice.
The artist's studio and viewing gallery is in Johor Bahru, Malaysia where he resides with his wife and children.

Rapheal Scott Ahbeng ( RSA )
Ahbeng is a painter, cartoonist, and former broadcaster and teacher.
“Painting is a way of expressing my feelings. I like to paint good things that give viewers a good feeling, and make them think and feel rejuvenated.
“I paint subjects that are close to my heart — nature and landscapes. Unlike people, they’re silent and don’t criticise,” Ahbeng said with a laugh.
LOOK carefully at Raphael Scott Ahbeng’s paintings and one notices that red is used in all of them — whether all over or just a dash.
“I like red. It gives a lot of warmth and is easy to make friends with other colours,” said the 70-year-old.
“I also do ceramic works and photography. All these keep me occupied and it’s great fun doing them every day.”
A few of his artworks have been successfully auctioned overseas, an achievement he is proud of and spurs him to continue painting while making new discoveries.

Ab ibrahim
A. B. Ibrahim atau Ibrahim bin Abu Bakar dilahirkan di Derga, Alor Setar dalam tahun 1925. Beliau adalah anak kelima dari sembilan orang adik-beradik. Persekolahan beliau hanya setakat darjah empat di Sekolah Rendah Melayu Derga. Apabila tamat persekolahan beliau menjadi peniaga di Pekan Rabu
Ketika meletusnya Perang Dunia Kedua pada tahun 1941 ketika berumur 16 tahun beliau bertugas sebagai seorang buruh JKR membina jalan-raya.
Pada zaman Jepun, A.B. Ibrahim merebut peluang melukis. Pentadbiran tentera Jepun menggalakkan kerja-kerja melukis dan menganjurkan peraduan-peraduan melukis di pelbagai peringkat. Jepun menggunakan lukisan sebagai alat propaganda perang.
Lukisan A.B. Ibrahim mendapat sambutan yang baik dari pentadbir Jepun. Perniagaan beliau di Pekan Rabu merosot lalu beliau terpaksa menutup kedai dan menjadi buruh kasar membina jalan keretapi.
A.B. Ibrahim hampir dibawa ke Burma menjadi buruh ‘keretapi maut’ tetapi pegawai Jepun mahu beliau tinggal di Kedah melukis poster untuk propaganda Jepun. Beliau seterusnya membuka kedai kopi di Pekan Rabu.
Pada 1 April 1946, A.B. Ibrahim dengan A.J. Rahman dan Saidin Yahaya membuka sebuah kedai seni lukis yang diberi nama ‘Warna Art Studio’. Pada masa itu A.B. Ibrahim merupakan pelukis pertama di Malaysia yang bergantung hidup hanya kepada melukis.
‘Warna Art Studio’ hidup sebagai kedai membuat iklan, poster papan kenyataan berbentuk grafik di samping menghasilkan karya seni halus. Lukisan beliau mendapat sambutan hebat dari masyarakat British yang mengumpul lukisan untuk dibawa balik ke Eropah. A.B. Ibrahim amat cergas menganjurkan pameran-pameran seni lukis dan bergiat dalam Persatuan Pelukis Melayu sebagai pengasas.
Dalam tahun 1957, beliau menjadikan rumahnya sebagai studio. A.B. Ibrahim mempunyai keistimewaan tersendiri dalam penggunaan cat air. Beliau dijemput menyertai pelukis di Ipoh dan Kuala Lumpur.
A.B. Ibrahim menyertai semua pameran anjuran Kerajaan dan Persatuan Pelukis Melayu di seluruh negara. Balai Seni Negara mempunyai 12 buah karyanya dan Balai Seni Negeri mempunyai 9 buah. Karyanya pernah menghiasi majalah ‘Mastika’ dan ‘Dewan Sastera’. A.B. Ibrahim meninggal dunia pada 25 Disember 1977.

What Expert Say about Art Investment
ART When it comes to investment in collectibles such as art, which include paintings, sculptures and handicrafts, luck and timing are the main determinants of the rate of return. There's no fixed rate of return, as it is a subjective matter, depending on how much the buyer is willing to pay for that particular piece of creativity.
While still at an infancy stage, art investment in Malaysia has been gaining popularity over the last 20 years. One has to note, though, that most art collectors here are in not purely for monetary gains.
But as RogueArt Sdn Bhd director Beverly Yong puts it, the “returns” on art investment are often intangible. One being the gain of aesthetic and emotional satisfaction, while knowing that one is also contributing to creativity and the cultural heritage of the country.
“If one is knowledgeable and has good access to the works of major or emerging artists, one could build a collection, which would probably increase in value over the long term.
“Buying and selling art regularly for profit certainly requires one to have knowledge, a strong network and real engagement with the scene,” Yong emphasises. By CECILIA KOK
