Description
Choo Keng Kwang was the only son of a Teochew diamond trader. He was heavily criticised for his decision to enrol in art classes but it paid off, as he graduated with two certificates, one from Catholic High School and the other from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. He then became a teacher and was made the principal of Sin Hua School."Differing from Choo's usual forte of birds and landscapes, the artist strayed away from his comfort to produce the "Tin Miners" an oil on board work. This intriguing work presents both female and male tin miners with sieves in hand and a basket on their backs. A few workers are seen wearing straw hats to shade them from the sun. The subjects in this piece portray intricacy and attention to detail. The colour palette sees earthy, neutral tones throughout the work.
