Featuring two pieces of paintings within one lot, Kwan Chin concocts a calm, peaceful atmosphere in the Malaysian suburbs, the first, a mother with a flower adorning her hair with her children and the second, siblings of three in an embrace to show their affinity for one another. Here, Kwan Chin captures the relationships of family and the simple life of yesteryears, together with their closeness to nature.
