In this artistic adaptation by Lee Joo For, strong and forceful lines are present, as are an assortment of intermingling, mellow colours. The focus of this piece is the architecture of the subject itself, accompanied by the other detailing such as the horses and the riders. The results of the artist’s works are the collective influences from his Chinese heritage, Malaysian upbringing and Western education. Lee Joo For was awarded a scholarship by the Malaysian government to study art at Brighton College of Art and the Camberwell School of Art and the prestigious Royal College of Art. He is also a leading playwright, and a lecturer for arts.
