KWAN CHIN : Rubber Tappers with Yield
Est: RM3,500 - RM7,000
Following the previous lot, the theme of rubber tapping remains in this batik painting, with one significant difference — the yield. Rubber trees are tapped about once every two days, yielding a cupful of latex, containing approximately 50 grams of solid rubber, each time. After collection of the tapped latex, rubber is recovered from emulsion by coagulation with formic acid, creating crumbs that resemble curds of milk. The crumbs are washed, dried between rolls, and compacted into blocks 67 by 33 by 18 cm in size and weighing 33.3 kg. The blocks are then wrapped in polyethylene sheets and packed into one-ton crates for shipping. Yet again, with the portrayal of a lowering sun in the background to suggest dusk and the subjects of the work carrying latex filled cups, one can easily discern that it’s time to collect the yield. There’s something immensely special about all of Kwan Chin’s works but these in particular narrate nostalgia — a time when many families, regardless of race and religion worked on rubber plantations for income and struggled to make ends meet. It also allows viewers a peek and provide insight into rubbing tapping.

KWAN CHIN : Rubber Tappers at Work
Est: RM3,500 - RM7,000
In warm, vibrant shades Kwan Chin yet again brings about his favourite subject — rubber tapping. This piece and the lot that follows is historically important, for it encapsulates a period of time that the younger generation isn’t familiar with and when there was a huge demand for rubber. Fun fact: For many years tin and rubber were Malaysia's primary exports. By the 1930’s, Malaysia produced half of the world's rubber. It is notable that Kwan Chin has a penchant for the ordinary kampung life, showcasing the rural life in lively colours and convoluted details – both of his art and batik. In this batik work, the artist’s meticulous eye for attention included the portrayal of scoring of the tree, slanting at an angle to extract the milky liquid known as latex. Making the scene even more nostalgic and endearing is the warm orange-coloured, crackling lines at the centre of the work, on the backdrop of the trees to symbolise dawn and sunrise, when rubber tappers would be well on their way through the job.
