A couple is portrayed here sharing a bowl of noodles. The subject matter, although humble, paints a beautiful, warm scene of love and care between these two individuals. Done in the style of her student days still with a naïve-like figuration and flat perspective, Yau Bee Ling often paints ordinary family-life situations in sumptuous colour and composition.
Yau Bee Ling graduated from Malaysian Institute of Art, 1995 with award of full scholarship and was artist-in-residence at Rimbun Dahan, Kuala Lumpur. In 2004, her paintings travelled to Hokkaido Museum of Contemporary Art as part of Soul of Asia: Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Collection.
