Senior Malaysian artist Sylvia Lee Goh, who was known for her richly atmospheric and intense oil paintings surrounding her life experiences and Peranakan cultural heritage, has died in Kuala Lumpur. She was 80.
Her death on May 6 in Kuala Lumpur was announced on the National Art Gallery’s Facebook page this morning.
Lee Goh, who was born in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, began gaining prominence in the Malaysian art scene in the early 1990s through group exhibitions and a series of portraits, still life, landscapes and in her later years, semi-abstract works.
