Description:
Credit Line: Gift of the Artist 2003, Collection of SMU
Lee Hong Geok has been interested in art from young, painting her own Christmas cards and sketching, but it was only after resigning as a teacher that she could take up painting seriously. In 1998, with guidance from Ong Kim Seng, she decided to devote her energies to watercolours. In time, her works show her growing competence with the medium, her compositional skill, her grasp of the atmospheric quality of her surroundings, and her ability to transcribe exactly what she sees in terms of light and a feeling for the poetic aspects of landscape.
