FONG KIM SING RETROSPECTIVE

 
  Fong Kim Sing's preoccupation with the notion of Dance is strongly influenced by the romantic and simple life of rural Malaysia. Inspired by movement and his surrounding - swaying coconut trees, padi fields dancing to the wind and meandering rivers in Alor Setar – Fong Kim Sing’s latest paintings allude to characteristics of the landscape.

These semi-abstract compositions depicting the sensuality and energetic nature of Dance is treated with a combination of intricate detailing and sweeping strokes of harmonious colours. This in turn enables one to identify the intricate hand gestures, the poses whilst still capturing the emotive and passion of the Dance itself. Dance has long been an integral part of local cultural tradition. In ancient society and just as it is today, dance has been used in both court and secular society as a means of story telling and entertainment. Dance has the simple ability to intoxicate and seduce the viewer to the whims of movement.

In order to capture the essence of Dance, Fong Kim Sing uses a technique of rhythmic stroke, hue and drip which presents itself as both controlled and spontaneous as well as bringing forth in and out spatial qualities of the painting infusing colour, form and movement. Fong Kim Sing's latest endeavour; The Mystery of Dance; expresses an invaluable and influential aspect of our culture. It is a stylistic interpretation and celebration of the rich and colourful Dance culture in our society.
