Art Details

Artist Lee Weng Fatt
b. Kuala Lumpur, 1967

Year of Artwork 2021

Description "Kreta Ayer Singapore” captures the nostalgic charm of Singapore’s historic Chinatown, alive with street-side vendors and bustling foot traffic. The intricately detailed façade of a three-storey colonial building anchors the scene, adorned with ornate windows and louvered shutters. The street pulses with daily life - a red trishaw loaded with goods, people browsing stalls, buying produce, and engaging with hawkers. This juxtaposition of architectural grace and everyday vibrancy reflects Lee’s signature focus on heritage preservation through urban storytelling.

Lee Weng Fatt graduated with a Diploma in Art & Design from the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989, initially working with watercolours before transitioning to oil painting in 1995. He has held several solo exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur, including his first solo at the Art Salon in 1994 titled "Hang Kai / Jalan-Jalan," as well as exhibitions at venues like the Joshua Fine Art Gallery in 2000, the Art House in 2004, and TJ Fine Art in 2010.
