cave

Cave on the right

3 years ago Lee Fook Hong drew a forest of lines and titled it "Big Land". At this year's VSA annual show, J and I found his new painting "Cave" - and were pleasantly surprised.

Chinese ink on paper, this time the brush strokes have introduced more expressive lines and a sense of abstraction. There remains a preference for graphic flatness yet, perhaps as the name suggests, there's also a new sense of depth and perspective. I like looking at the painting - its walls and surfaces, the hint of an entrance.

According to the short bio, Lee Fook Hong still aspires to be graphic designer. Amps wish him well!
