Lee Weng Fatt’s work lies mainly in ‘preserving’ heritage buildings by capturing their timeless beauty and allure through his canvas, as seen in ‘Hotel Pyramid Tower & Resort Suites, 2005.’ What enthrals Lee are the old buildings of his birthplace, the urban landscape of Kuala Lumpur. For him, returning time and time again to these old edifices is akin to journeying back to his roots. The artist immortalises them through oil on canvas and watercolour paintings.
