    An avid traveler, Chin Sye has journeyed across continents in his painterly quest for new sights and cultural understanding. His landscape paintings feature various cities across Asia, Europe and Latin America.

The assiduous combination of East-West techniques also reflects his multi-faceted art training.

    Est: RM15,000 - RM28,000

    Tong Chin Sye was a frequent traveller, and is continuously inspired by architecture and culture. Using a wide array of colours, he translates them beautifully onto paper. His watercolour paintings remind the viewer of Chinese calligraphy and ancient Chinese paintings, the way the colours seem to flow and meld into each other seamlessly and gracefully. His works are the combination of memory and personality. He sketches every country he has been to – China, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and more, executing them brilliantly with his brushworks as in this piece, a view of the Temple Street in Singapore.
