Executed with elegance and restraint, Family Relaxing by Choo Keng Seng is a study in simplicity and harmony. The watercolour medium enhances the gentle atmosphere of the scene, as the artist depicts a family immersed in peaceful leisure. This work is a fine example of Choo’s ability to evoke emotion and familiarity through minimalist detail and masterful composition. Born in Kedah in 1945, Keng Seng Choo was educated at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore. He participated various art exhibitions in Malaysia and Singapore and was also the recipient for the silver medal at The New York International Art Show and the first prize at Pastel in Malaysia competition in 1988.
