Description
"Sultan Abdul Samad Building, KL" pays tribute to one of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic architectural landmarks. The building’s distinctive copper domes and Moorish arches stand proudly at the heart of the canvas, bathed in soft, golden light. Around it, the city stirs with activity - cyclists pass by, pedestrians gather, and food vendors serve their morning crowd, all under a canopy of sun dappled trees. The dynamic movement of daily life contrasts gently with the building’s timeless stillness. Through this lively composition, Lui captures both the enduring presence of a national monument and the vibrant pulse of the city it anchors.

Lui Cheng Thak has been a full-time artist since graduating from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989. He's known for showcasing architectural heritage and disappearing trades in his lush and romantic style. Notable exhibitions include "As I Was Passing" in 1997 at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur, and recent shows like "Jalan-Jalan 2" at PinkGuy Gallery in 2022, followed by "Festive Seasons" at the same gallery in 2023. His works are held in collections of corporations, hotels, and private collectors.
