About The Artwork

A few months back, I saw a meme on social media that got me thinking. It mentioned that these days, we don't get that many insects splattering on the car windscreen while driving at night. I guess it is caused by pollution and widespread deforestation :( It totally brought me back to when my family would travel during the school holidays to another city where my relatives lived. Dad would start driving on a Friday evening, after work, and our whole family would be crammed in the car, ready for our road trip. We would see small insects like moths, beetles, etc., hitting against the windscreen during the night, and my Dad would wipe them off with the car wipers. I remember being less than 10 years old and would ponder why these insects would commit suicide so easily. How sad and true this is as we don't get these anymore while driving at night. This painting uncannily reflects my nostalgia for those splattering insects. It is funny and sad at the same time...

Alvin Koay is a self-taught artist and is best known for his intuitive painting and bold colors. Resonating with the abstract expressionism movement of post world war II, he is influenced by the early works of Willem de Kooning, Basquiat, Picasso, and other great painters of that era. All of his works are based on impulses, spontaneity, and improvisation. He constantly finds "accidental aesthetics" as he attacks the canvas with vigorous colors, lines, and textures. He paints his state of mind and emotions, with motives from mother nature, animals, and the worldly good. Alvin uses primarily acrylic on canvas as his preferred medium.
