Dreamland in blue

My own dreamland

It has no concrete image

But has been composed of

All my encounters, experiences, appreciations and trials

Put together.

A blend of artist?s impression of musical and dances performance recreating a festival in his own imagination, music flow in the air and dancers dance in the flow of music, light and air is filled with rhythm and melody.

A cloudy day in Malacca river’s shore, fishing boats are shore bound fearing a storm brewing.

A rainy scene of Melaka river, some of the splashes on the painting is raindrops, painting under open sky with nature light is one of Tham’s signature art approaches, a surprise drizzle caught artist by surprise, an welcome surprise. “Accident doesn’t create good art, but sometimes best art is created by accident.”

A unique scene in Melaka river, the houses along the river has no back lane, instead they have “back river” there is no road access to the backdoor of houses here, they can only access them by river, carriage boats is hired to deliver goods from backdoor.

A reformed scene of Melaka River, the shore line are now fixed with concrete walkways for pedestrian and house owners. Breathing new element to heritage buildings with convenient walkway.

Simple lines and ordinary colors depict the graceful gestures of the dancers.

A source of infinite inspiration, from different time and age, the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple of Melaka is a subject of Tham for many times, everyone expressed in different style and technique, capturing the temple?s glory in different lights, moods and conditions.

A series of movement performed by foreign Chinese Opera Group, and captured by artist with clean lines and simple colors.

Beautiful Fraser?s Hill

Feeds my imagination

Fires my creative urge

With its verdant fields

I always turn to them

for my inspiration.
