I promised to show you some oil paintings by my pottery teacher Lam Le Siang. These vibrant, colourful works are from Mr Lam's last exhibition entitled 'Down Memory Lane' and depict memories of his childhood and kampung (village) life in Malaysia in the 1950's and 60's. I like the contemporary feel he brings to these traditional scenes through his bold brushstrokes and plane and spatial treatments.

  2. Thanks for posting these...I really enjoyed looking at them. They are so luminous--yet, as Bella said, bold and strong. Are these all from the exhibition?
