Soh Boon Kiong is one of the UM Resident Artist, he served from 2009 till 2012 with extension of his tenure at the University Penthouse till 2013 (the exact date will be added). Here some of his artwork and activities in UM.
I knew him as a L A R G E F O R M A T artist, due to his work on very large painting. He always refer his maestro from Europe with big painting. Mark Rothko is among them that he always talk about.
Mark Rothko (/ˈrɒθkoʊ/), born Markus Yakovlevich Rotkovich (Russian: Ма́ркус Я́ковлевич Ротко́вич) (September 25, 1903 – February 25, 1970), was an American painter of Russian Jewish descent. Although Rothko himself refused to adhere to any art movement, he is generally identified as an Abstract Expressionist. With Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, he is one of the most famous postwar American artists. (from Wiki).
The seminal work that I manage to exhibit at the Museum of Asian Art is The Lyrical Flow, which under the Patronage of Duli Sultanah Pahang, Sultanah Kalsom.
His first solo exhibition: Large Format
2nd Solo Exhibition : Under the Patronage of Nuri Abdullah, daughter of PM Abdullah Badawi, wife of Khairi Jamaludin.
