Description
Lee Weng Fatt’s “Jln Pudu Lama Kuala Lumpur” is a nostalgic tribute to Malaysia’s architectural heritage, rendered in his distinctive realist style. The scene captures a weathered balcony framed by classical columns and aged wooden shutters, opening into a dim interior. At the center hangs a traditional birdcage, a quiet symbol of domestic life and bygone days. Potted plants line the balcony ledge, while birds flit in and out of view, animating the otherwise still scene. Rich in texture and memory, the painting evokes the fading charm of old Kuala Lumpur, where personal histories unfold behind timeworn facades.
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.
