This drawing was done during Perng Fey’s residency at Rimbun Dahan in 2002. Surrounded by verdant vegetation, including a herbal garden, the artist began painting his immediate environment and this work reflects a wild, unrestrained growth. It is part of the copious practices he has done during his Transient Glories series, before embarking on the more panoramic vistas of landscapes with great beauty and depth. The artist painted his first landscapes in 1998 upon finishing art college, and has gone fulltime into art ever since.
