Born in Kedah in 1958, Shafie Hassan is one of the most reputable watercolourist in Malaysia. His talent lies in find the beauty in a mundane life in the village and immortalising it with his brush. There is a newness in his Kereta Kerbau Kampong Chhang work in comparison with his other works that often reveal its age from the colours. Viewers would be drawn into the serenity of life outside the city and the thought of finding happiness in a simple living while being surrounded in the verdant forest.
