About the Exhibition
Painting from the Heart is a debut solo exhibition by Yeow Teck Chai, a self-taught watercolour artist and retired career civil servant who hails from the seaside town of Kuantan.
This exhibition showcases paintings that evoke a range of memories – from glimpses of his simple kampung childhood to the mesmerising scenery and colours from his travels around the world.
Yeow, a 14-year cancer survivor since 2004, believes there is life after cancer: “I believe that my natural ability to paint is a gift from God. It is a joy to share my passion with the community at large to benefit the less fortunate.” All proceeds from the sale of paintings in this series will be donated to the Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped and the Malaysian SLE Association.
