This set of drawings by Lee Weng Fatt shows two different architectural styles of Pre-War Straits Eclectic buildings modified for commercial purposes. One in Petaling Street is three stories, with a balustrade on the second-floor frontage, while the two-storey Jalan Pudu Lama buildings, has the Art Deco style preferred by businesses at one time. Some of these buildings have been torn down because of redevelopment or safety reasons, while for those that survived, the interiors are cannibalized for modern business convenience, leaving only the old facades.

LEE WENG FATT (b. 1967) Untitled, 2008, Oil on canvas
Est: RM5,000 - RM10,000
The scene of the ornately carved building is in Penang. Lee Weng Fatt inserts the hawker stall at the far end to divert attention to the five-foot way of the Baba House with its Straits Eclectic Baroque with its ornate wall and pillar carvings and Malacca Peranakan tiles. For good measure, he adds his trademark white doves, for a cheerful ambient and to animate the space.Weng Fatt graduated with a Diploma in Art & Design at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1989.
