Yap Kim Boon`s works in vivid and rich colours illustrate the richness of the local culture and surrounding in an accessible manner. The artist`s distinctive technique of painting with a hand-made bamboo palette knife results in a three dimensional textured effect and captures light and movement uniquely.

His vibrant works of art can transport one to a tranquil kampung, a babbling brook or to the middle of a burst of dazzling heliconias and bougainvillea.

Witnessing such masterpieces is a stimulating and soothing experience, bringing to life the beauty of our Malaysian landscapes and natural environment.
