Born in 1950, Lye Yau Fatt hails from Kedah. He is one of the most inventive artist in printmaking and sculpture. He acquired his skills from a printmaking workshop in New York in 1986. Lye was mentored by Cheong Soo Pieng, a pioneer artist from Singapore. He was inspired by Cheong’s ‘Nanyang Style’ whose works were bedecked with rich earth tones, creating a homely ambience and mood.

Lye uses mixed media such as watercolour, acrylic and charcoal to exemplify visual style and the color structures of mother nature.
