Chia Yu Chian Selected Works 1950 - 1979

According to D.Israel Meyer in the Paris Arts July edition 1959, Chia entered the “tradition and representation of his country as well as the mostmodern tendncies of occidental art...” conserving the “great warmth of colours” while retaining the “love of synthesizing forms.” Not forgetting, Dr Michael Sullivan, scholar and art historian of the Far East and Asia especially notable during the 50s and 60s, who opined, “in its freedom, liveliness and bold use of colour, Yu Chian’s painting is a vivid expression of the richness of Malayan life.”
