Hoe Say Yong

About the artists

Hoe Say Yong was born in 1956 in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. He graduated in Fine Arts from the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1977. He is also the recipient of the Asia Art 2011 award from the Korea Culture Art Research Institute.

In his early works, Hoe used to paint still lifes and landscapes, including fishing villages, coconut and palm trees, and simple buildings, and occasionally, the human figure. From 1998 to 2005, Hoe made several trips within Asia (Malaysia, China, Thailand), to Australia and Europe (France, UK, Italy), where he honed his observations of nature and development of his creativity. Water and its ever-changing reflections are the starting points of his inspiration for art transposed onto the canvas.

He progressed from painting from observation, then perception and now from introspection. Hoe has created three major series — Reflection, Imagery and Inner world — which have been widely exhibited in Asia. Each series proceeds from the previous one in a pursuit of an aesthetic and philosophical goal. With about 23 paintings, Hoe’s new body of work Wind, flower, snow, moon (Feng hua xue yue) is a further exploration of the Inner World series. It is an outcome of over 30 years of personal reflection, a journey culminating in an expression of his mind and heart.

We are pleased to present the 20th EY Asean Art Outreach program, featuring Malaysian artist, Hoe Say Yong. In this latest exhibition entitled New Mindscapes, the artist showcases 23 of his paintings that represents the most famous four grand landscapes “Wind, flower, snow, moon” ( ) in Chinese art. Born in Batu Pahat, Johor, Say Yong graduated in Fine Arts from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1977, he is also the recipient of the Asia Art 2011 award from the Korea Culture Art Research Institute.

EY started the Asean Art Outreach in 2007 as part of the firm’s corporate social responsibility program. The program provides a platform for artistic talents in the region to display their works in our office gallery. With the aim of encouraging and supporting these young talents, it also provides an opportunity for our clients, staff, and the public to appreciate the vibrant art scene here in Southeast Asia. These series of exhibitions are held once every four to five months and features different artists from the Asean region including artists from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Proceeds from the sale of works will not only help the artists, but a portion will also be set aside to benefit charitable causes. Through our established position in the business community and our efforts in this outreach program, we hope to bring art closer to our network of clients and friends as well as connect us to business and government leaders in our communities.

I hope you will enjoy Hoe Say Yong’s works as much as we did in bringing this exhibition to you.

The exhibition “New Mindscapes ( — Feng hua xue yue): by Hoe Say Yong” is the culmination of over 30 years of the artist’s aesthetic and personal research to define his own style of abstraction, a subtle balance of colors and lines driven by waves of movement, the whole framed with delicacy, evoking calm and harmony. Hoe’s paintings offer a unique visual perception that might be comparable to none other; his art is introspective and looks deeply into life and experience, seeking to convey the true expression of the artist’s heart.

The 23 paintings presented in this exhibition reveal a new chapter of the Inner World series that Hoe Say Yong started in 2012. From images taken from the real world, he expresses his inner-world onto canvas. Hoe honors the hallowed traditions of art, its revered aesthetic criteria, as he pursues his own artistic language. As a development from his former series, the palette of colors is more diverse and joyful, details of the composition are smoother, and brush strokes are finer with a calligraphic power. References to the water or related objects have progressively receded, although echoes of these remain.

In his most recent works, Hoe transits further from waterscapes to mindscapes. As a matter of fact, the title of the exhibition, New Mindscapes ( — Feng hua xue yue) no longer refers to the idea of reflection, or any representation of the visible. It leads us purposely to another meaning. These four characters, meaning ‘Wind, flower, snow, moon’, represent the most famous four grand landscapes in Chinese art and are very common images when writing poems. Through the metaphor, Hoe wishes to add a poetic dimension to his art, sharing a direct expression of his feelings with painting and words.

While he is often asked why he is not painting real objects anymore, Hoe answers that reality is no longer a purpose to him; it is what lies beyond the image that interests him. Abstraction becomes the pure expression of his free mind, where one can forget rules of techniques and aesthetics, and search for a more personal artistic language. Looking at Hoe’s paintings

Introduction to the exhibition— Patricia Levasseur de la Motte

is like entering the artist’s mind, an intimate dialogue begins between the artist and the viewer. The vibrancy of the lines and colors engage our eyes and emotions, which can possibly lead to a mutual understanding. When we surrender to it, Hoe’s painting touches our souls and triggers feelings of serene wellbeing.

One might think that Hoe’s artistic practice is derived from Taoism or Buddhism: the observation of the ever-changing objects, understanding the impermanence of things; looking for the ‘qi’ to fill the canvas with life; mastering the techniques by constantly repeating the gestures and subject matter; and ending up with an intuitive painting created by a spontaneous and free brush stroke. The process can also appear as methodical and philosophical, driven by three vital components; the observation of nature and its elements, the perception of things and their essence, the introspective work done by the artist to finally transfer his feelings directly onto the canvas. It is all about the way a visual experience becomes a personal experience for the artist. The outcome is a lyrical abstraction, a painting driven by beauty, poetry and free expression.

By working relentlessly on similar themes, Hoe demonstrates that he can never be satisfied with a painting and will strive to perfect his mastery of the medium, process, color and lines. It is all about his insatiable appetite for perfection as he paints with a meticulous discipline, always searching for excellence.

Hoe admits that since he started at the age of seven, painting helped him to know himself better and to nurture himself. It was the beginning of a journey that brought him happiness and serenity, as well as a wish to share his values in his art. As Cicero once wrote, ‘The face is the mirror of the soul’, we can easily see how Hoe’s painting has become the mirror of his mind: colorful, lively, and full of love.

On the path to abstraction What makes a painter a true artist is his ability to create his own style — some iconic visual language that distinguishes him. A tremendous curiosity, love for detail, personal investigation, and a search for excellence, are some of the ingredients of Hoe’s stunning paintings. An esteemed and established artist today, Hoe Say Yong has found his mark, but it took some time.

Hoe Say Yong graduated from the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1977 at the age of 21. His interest in art started early when he was seven. Drawing and painting attracted his curiosity, perhaps because his father was a billboard painter.

In his early works, Hoe used watercolor to paint still lifes and landscapes, including fishing villages, coconut and palm trees, and simple buildings, and occasionally the human figure. He looks back at this period and sees it as a preparation, for he was still looking for inspiration from his environment and surroundings. “I really didn’t have a favorite subject or theme then”, says Hoe.

“Real change came only in 1986 when I went to Pulau Redang to paint landscapes. One day I saw a fish in the water and on the surface of the water there was the reflection of a coconut tree. This fascinated me. I took the detail of the fish and painted it later. I took a photograph of the place. I went back in the morning to this place, then I went back again to the same place in the afternoon. The fish was gone. The place was different for me and I realized that a place could change so quickly. Everything was different. Everything had changed, except that the water was still there.”

“That the surface of the water could change at any moment was magical to me. Painting a movement that is always changing is much more of a challenge for me than a still life, or a landscape, or a figure, where things change so slowly. The wind could change the surface of the water; the light could play on the water, and could change too. Here I had found something that would take me a lifetime to explore.”

So Hoe moved on to the depiction of water ripples, the interaction with the evolving natural elements. He played with light and color, stripping a scene of the houses, trees, and villages, to discover the world beyond the reflections. Extending his technique to acrylic and later oil, he allowed himself to paint freely, simply guided by his senses and emotions. To him, reflection was only a subject, a theme. It is what is behind the reflection that mattered. Painting became then like a projection of his mind, or an impression of surrounding issues that concerned him. “Looking back, the reflections served as a mirror to my mind and heart. Through my art, I moved from exploring the world to self-discovery. It is an unnoticeable evolution, and this leads me to wonder what may be next.”

About the artist and his work— Patricia Levasseur de la Motte

In the early 1990s, Hoe spent 6 years traveling in Malaysia, exploring the coastline sceneries, searching for diversity — varying colors, shades, shapes of water, and its surrounding elements. Concurrent to the aesthetic study, Hoe started experimenting with acrylic techniques in large format to allow a freer expression. His thirst for inspiration brought him, for another seven years, travelling around the world, from China to Thailand, France, Italy and Australia. Sea, lake and river landscapes further stimulated his visual and mental explorations. It was from this period that Hoe built his first serious body of work called Reflections.

Progressively, Hoe managed to free himself from the formal representation of the elements in his paintings. The question was no longer to identify the visible images, but to feel the elements of the composition: variations of colors, lines, light, movements and rhythm. The painting becomes a door to enter into the artist’s mind, his feelings, and his heart.

From 2008, Hoe focused even more on his innermost thoughts and contemplation of self, and this led to the very unique Imagery series of paintings. After years of experience and introspection, Hoe’s shift as an artist — from ‘looking out’ to ‘looking in’ — is a sublime transition and transformation of his creative spirit. It is a return to the origin of nature – unfettered, confident, and in touch with the depths of the soul.

The most recent series, Inner World (2012–ongoing), is a continuation of the Imagery series. The new works are more colorful and joyful; details are smoother, strokes are finer and have a calligraphic strength and spirit. Movement and serenity are at the heart of the paintings. There is a perceptible shift towards pure abstraction. It is in now in his studio, in the hills above Kuala Lumpur, that Hoe creates his new works. He calls upon the images in his thoughts and heart, and sometimes looks at photographs from his travels. Ultimately it is all about achieving serenity in the works; so that anybody may find themselves in these contemplative works, in all their colors and lines. After years of painting, Hoe’s works have evolved. In the beginning he sought to identify subjects and then painted them. He then abandoned figurative shapes for more abstract ones. Still later, he began pursuing the images of the mind and heart. We now see his arrival at a stage where reflection is no longer that of some object. Reflection is now metaphoric and because of the artist’s decision not to be bound by technique and form, his art becomes free, unreserved and imaginative.

In parallel with Mark Rothko, who used architectural elements such as doors and windows to free his mind and set off his abstraction, Hoe used water to arrive at his own style. For both artists, even as their abstraction started with physical objects, a whole new visual and ethereal vista has been open to them. For Hoe, observation of the water and its reflections was only the beginning of a long journey. It was a door to an inner perception of nature and of self.
