Painted in 1965, Two Lovers belongs to an important formative period in Khoo Sui Hoe’s career, when the human figure was emerging as a central theme in his artistic vocabulary. The intimate pairing of two figures reflects Khoo’s early exploration of human relationships, rendered with a sensitivity that would later develop into his distinctive dreamlike and poetic visual language.
