Eric Quah’s Berlin Wall series, created in 1991, is a visceral response to the collapse of a global symbol of division and ideological conflict. Using mixed media on paper, Quah conveys the emotional and psychological impact of the wall’s fall through fragmented forms, layered textures, and expressive mark making. The compositions are abstract yet charged with historical resonance, reflecting the rupture and transformation of societies and the artist’s own reflections on barriers, freedom, and unity.
