Celebrated Malaysian artist Fatimah Chik trained at the MARA School of Art and Design as a textile designer and was born in 1947 in Pontian, Johor. She began experimenting in batik designs from the mid 1970’s and it was then when she started dabbling in infusing varied motifs into her artworks, birthing a style that was entirely her own. Fatimah Chik’s coveted and brilliant Nusantara Series are highly ornate, structured with its luxurious texture and at most times, the way it is created – blocks, waxing, hand painting, dyeing to add more value to it. The artist has wonderfully revolutionised and brought batik to greater heights by co-mixing the old-style of crafting symbolic batik with new art forms to fit into the category of contemporary fine art. Her creations break the barriers between the physical, religious and racial differences among people. Throughout her artistic career, Fatimah maintained her role as an educator at the Mara Institute of Technology and later at the Malaysian Institute of Art. Fatimah is venerated in the Malaysian art and fashion scene and her expertise is valued as a judge at competitions such as the Piala Seri Batik Design Competition in 2015. Not long after graduation, she married her former art history professor, Redza Piyadasa. Piyadasa, who died in 2007, was a renowned artist, art critic and educator who is credited with initiating the debate on the national artistic identity of Malaysia. RAFFLES AUCTION - FEBRUARY 2022

Dato’ Mohamed Hoessein Enas, also regarded as the ‘Father of Portraits’. is one of the earliest generations of Malaysian artists. Born in 1924 in Bogor in Java, he migrated to Malaysia in 1947 to escape the aftermath of the Indonesian Revolution. The artist is famed for his European-style realistic paintings. A member of the Fellow Royal Society of Arts, Hossein’s work spanned across many mediums and his reputation as a portrait artist was sealed as the best in the art scene, particularly those of the Malaysian royalty. Hoessein Enas’ works exude a certain brilliance in capturing still life and exuding the elegance evidently projected. He was the founder of the Majlis Kesenian Melayu which eventually became the Angkatan Pelukis Semenanjung, dedicated in producing artworks of the Malay tradition. He was also a member of the the Board of Trustees and the former head of Design and Staging Services of the national RTM (Radio dan Televisyen Malaysia). He was then appointed as the Royal Portrait Painter by His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor in 1990. Hoessein Enas passed away in 1995 and left behind a legacy of heritage and artwork in the royal halls and walls which are irreplaceable. There is some sense of culture translated to all of Hoessein’s portraits, whether it’s in the actions of his subject, their clothes or their livelihood. This work is no different, it is the epitome of elegance and grace. A demure Malay lady dressed to the nines in her traditional attire, a flower adorning her big hair speaks of the era. The subject is painted beautifully, depicting her alluring nature — big glistening eyes and full, plump lips and rosy cheeks.

MYR 2,800 - 4,000 USD 670 - 960 Koempoel Sujatno was born in Ngawi, East Java, 1912, with the name of Koempoel Sujatno. He studied painting from the Dutch painter Gerard Pieter Adolfs and Willem Van Der Does. He was one of the most prolific artists, but since many of his paintings have been damaged, lost and spread out in countries abroad, his works are now well sought after. Koempoel was an artist who preferred outdoor objects – plein air – anything under the sun. Therefore most of his works are presented in bright harmonious colors revealing a graceful enchantment. He died on August 18, 1987 in Batu, East Java due to his severe throat cancer.
