    Est: RM5,500 - RM9,000

    Composed of intricate figures and painted in jewel like colours, the artwork's main subject is Shou Xing 寿星, who is the star of longevity. The old man is depicted with a high forehead and white moustache. His left arm is carrying a wooden shaft, with a double gourd vase attached to it. As a symbol of fertility, the double gourd is believed to be good luck, as it is also a Daoist emblem of immortality. A pair of flying swallows are seen in the distant mountainous background. There is a traditional belief that the swallow bird is connected to healing and symbolizes hope and prosperity. Standing beside the old man is an Indian soldier, perhaps suggesting China and India as among the oldest civilisations in the world. Siund Tan's paintings are based on childhood memories and dreams, but with the newly represented Present in a surrealistic twist. Siund Tan (Tan Hong Shiung) was one of the star winners of the Malaysian Emerging Artists Award, hosted jointly by HOM Art Trans and Galeri Chandan, in 2011.

    An usually large pearl is in the hands of a young girl, and she is displaying it in front of her friends. The girl on the left, dressed in blue, is all of us — astounded and amazed at such a sight, yet also envious, entertaining the thought of “if only I could have it…” Siund Tan’s paintings are based on childhood memories and dreams, but with the newly represented Present in a surrealistic twist.

    Does one, especially a girl, wearing a polka-dot dress with really big, big (white) dots make one a clown. The implication is there, from the scene of circus clowns donning all kinds of colourful jumper suits with big polka dots. In the past, the ‘uniform’ of the clown, then known as harlequin is mostly checked, you can find several in Picasso’s works. This nubile girl with long plaited ‘horse-tails’ is anything but clownish, but before the time of ‘selfies’ she has her handy accessory of reassurance that her hair is neat, face cleared of blemishes and her dress having no wardrobe malfunction. Indeed, Woman, Vanity is thy Name.

    The things girls keep as pets could be a subject for some thesis study. The little duckling (or is it a chick? If so, Chick, Chick, if you get the drift) prised from its mother and siblings thoroughly out of place, if not miffed, in a human living-room what more in the palm of a girl. Is the girl asking permission to keep it as a pet? Small as it is, it is certainly what every one’s attention is drawn to, unless you find the girl unusually fascinating.Siund Tan’s paintings are based on childhood memories and dreams, but with the newly represented Present in a surrealistic twist.
