  • Drawing constant inspiration from his environment (from the repetitive facades of suburban and consumer-driven Malaysia to the vast abundance of the countryside) his immediate surroundings are ever-present in all his works.
  • Throughout has career so far, Choy has continually developed this technique to achieve an original style of work that is distinctly his own.
