Inspired by the historical remains at The Sungai Batu Kedah Tua Kingdom in Kedah, I used acrylics and ink to narrate the surrounded nature and my illusions about it. Archaeological excavations have indicated the existence of ancient ports and iron trade activities at the Sungai Batu Kedah Tua Kingdom. Also, the excavations have proven the existence of the earliest Malaysian civilisation dated back to 788BC. I visited the site several times to have a closed-up look of the remains. The stone-blocks, bushes, ancient mangroves, smelting furnace and destructed stone ground have instigated my imagination about the historical contexts. I made several drawings of the remains. The process of drawing dragged my vision and mind into historical illusions. As a result, I made this painting in reminiscent of the atmosphere and properties of the remains. Each of the calligraphic strokes is my way of drawing and writing about the illusions I had. The ruins took space of 4km square, and made along the Merbok river, ever wonder why it could survive all the monsoons? The massive mangrove forest has protected it for ages. Nevertheless, the mangrove also protected my city - Sungai Petani from high tide and flood. The Sungai Batu Kedah Tua Kingdom is a hidden gem in Kedah. The remains are inspirational and the ancient mangroves is a precious contexts to the historical landscape.

“Inspired by her family’s background in Chinese herbal medicine, Fuen creates calligraphic botanical paintings with dense, rhythmic compositions and bold mark making.” – Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator for New Voice, Saatchi Art 2021 Special Edition Catalog. Fuen Chin is an artist who grew up in Kedah state, Malaysia. Her art takes inspiration from horticulture which is a nostalgic reflection of her childhood. Both her late grandparents were Chinese from Southern China with backgrounds in Chinese herbs and medicine, running a small herbal shop. It was there where Fuen learnt the importance of Chinese herbs and the stories around them. It is these stories and her visions about plants that provides an endless inspiration for the calligraphic floral paintings. Starting out as a self-taught artist, Chin eventually studied a Fine Art research degree at the Royal College of Art. She has worked on an art installation, citing the following response from the panel of judges: ‘We very much enjoyed your proposal and presentation and thought there were a lot of interesting possibilities that may emerge from your works.’ She continues to work and develop her calligraphic paintings using Chinese ink within a more contemporary context.
