REIMAGINING a classical painting with contemporary pandemic themes was the stroke of genius that won Choong Guey Syuen the Spotlight 2021 art competition by Penang Art District.
The 22-year-old fine art student’s ‘Dreaming Encircled by Isolation’ work was based on the 1856 oil on canvas painting ‘The Death of Chatterton’ by English artist Henry Wallis.
