Tan Peng Hooi painter of Penang

Subject

Festivals, figures and community

Lion dances, Malay and Balinese dancers, the breaking of fast, durian eaten in company, birds singing contests. Tan's festival paintings are a record of plural Malaysian life, made without hierarchy: each community's celebration is given the same warmth of attention.
