In Chua Kok Hooi’s art, he navigates the interplay of light and shadow, texture and form, creating a poetic narrative that transcends conventional representation. Through his meticulous brushwork and profound understanding of colour theory, Chua Kok Hooi constructs visual symphonies. Each stroke, imbued with intention and sensitivity, breathes life into his canvases, revealing a nuanced exploration of human experience. The harmonious fusion of contrasting elements, such as bold gestural marks alongside delicate whispers of pigment, instills a sense of dynamic equilibrium within his compositions.
