Jolly Koh’s Lilac Landscape (1982) encapsulates the artist’s hallmark fusion of abstraction and romanticism, with its atmospheric hues and lyrical composition. Known for his masterful command of colour and form, Koh explores the expressive potential of landscape not as a direct representation, but as a conduit for emotion and mood. In this work, soft lilac tones dominate the canvas, evoking a dreamlike environment where nature appears filtered through memory and imagination.
