Choo Keng Seng offers a heartfelt portrayal of familial love through his signature watercolour technique. The composition, though simple, carries a quiet emotional weight, reflecting the artist’s deep interest in human subjects and everyday life. Known for his clean lines and strong yet balanced use of colour, Choo’s style is both refined and expressive. Choo has been celebrated for his contributions to Malaysian art, with a career spanning decades and accolades including the prestigious Silver Medal at the 1970 New York International Art Show. His works often blend figuration with abstraction, allowing narratives to unfold subtly through form and tone. Mother and Child stands as a touching and intimate tribute to the bond between parent and child.
