S emoga kumpulan Seni Lukis Guru-Guru Pulau Pinang di bawah pimpinan En. Koay Soo Kau sebagai Pengerusi akan terus memberi sumbangan untuk menjayakan peranan aktif dalam aktiviti-aktiviti lain seperti ceramah belajar sambil melawat dan sebagainya. Akhir kata sekali lagi saya mengucapkan taniah dan merakamkan penghargaan kepada semua guru yang mengambil bahagian dalam pameran ini dengan jayanya Haji Mohd Ismail Bin Othman Pengarah Pendidikan Pulau Pinang. 9.4.1994Sunday 8th August 1993
On Mr. Tan Lye Hoe Tan Lye Hoe is an abstractionist who has produced much stronger work recently. His ‘Moonglow IV’ resembles abstract landscape that relies largely on simple brush strokes and basic organic forms. An intimate art of human behaviour and emotion, Tan’s work is filled with gesture and colour and exudes much energy. Dr. Chew Teng Beng - Associate Professor USM, Pulau Pinang. Organiser and Curator, The Second Generation Penang Painters’ Exhibition.April 1985
On Mr. Tan Lye Hoe Of the Abstractionists, Tan Lye Hoe’s Abstraction is a fine composition demonstrating a lively inter-play of lines, textures, forms and movements derived from the rock formation and water passages. To Lye Hoe, seeking out the essence of form and flows in nature is the essential factor in creating a visual image. Teng Choke Dee The Star, April 1985 Penang Watercolour Society inaugural Art Exhibition.We

INSIGHT ON THE MAN AND HIS ART
- DATO’TANG HONG YIN - By Dato’ himself. I guess the most challenging aspect of painting is the idea. How do I create an image that no one has seen before? How do I paint something that I myself have not seen before? How do I create an image that says different things to different people? Thay is what I try to achieve in my paintings. The other thing try to achieve is for my paintings to set off the imagination of the viewer. To intrigue, puzzle, perhaps fascinate the viewer and let his imagination transport him to different worlds is what I set out to do. I let the viewer derives meaning from his interpretation of what he sees. Ambiguity is a desirable element in my work. People look at my work and ask me what it means. My paintings are neither descriptive nor narrative and meaning is the furthest thing from my mind when I paint. I let the viewer derive meaning from his interperetation of what he sees. Dato’ Tang Hong Yin - 3rd November 2018 Liang, I went in for a quick look.
Well designed pages; the categories were comprehensive.
The historical coverage was well-documented.
The
response
in
the
individual
artist
and
works,
was
sensitive
and
efficient.
Like the cover of the Catalogue.
The
feature
on
art
classes
and
activities
is
an
excellent
one.
Actively utilised, the society will be highly dynamic.
Congratulations
for
your
excellent
contribution
and
to
all
the
guys
behind
the
scene
actively
keeping
the
Society
going
over
so
many
many years, Kudos
