Eric Quah’s body of works (Panorama) from his acclaimed Padi Fields series, is a sweeping, abstract meditation on the rural Malaysian landscape. Painted in oil on canvas, the works captures the rhythm, expanse, and quiet dignity of the padi fields through bold gestures, layered textures, and a contemplative palette. Quah’s abstraction transcends literal representation, offering instead an emotional and symbolic reading of place, memory, and cultural continuity.
