*基于艺术家的创作权益和追求真相公义,李健省于2000年9月18日开始在马来西亚吉隆坡高等法庭起诉马来西亚国家石油(Petronas)和吉隆坡市中市公司(简称KLCC Berhad )。(In the High Court of Malaya at Kuala Lumpur. Civil Suit No.S4 (S1)-22-504-2000)。吉隆坡高等法庭于2008年11月3日下判李健省胜诉,KLCC赔偿。

历史真相 姚拓先生的拔萃画廊(Galaxy Gallery)活动之一
当年在李健省(Lee Kian Seng) 的 穿针引线下,马来西亚国家美术馆义务秘书(马来西亚首相的新闻秘书)苏里文先生
(Mr. Frank Sullivan) 于1966年1月26日为拔萃画廊为的首个联展活动(7 青年画展)主持开幕。(见1966年1月27日马来西亚南洋商报与中国报的报道。)
- 1966年1月26日Frank
Sullivan先生曾亲临业主姚拓先生 (1922~2009)
的“拔萃画廊”的一个联展活动,为李健省与画友们的“7 青年画展”主持开幕。1968年,Frank
Sullivan 受李健省邀请出任第二届《雪州皇城画展》的顾问之一,期间也把滨华中学的校名带进国家美术馆,从此协助提升巴生的艺术风气与士气。1970代初,李健省推荐滨华中学多位校友们的作品给Frank Sullivan,并为他们在Samat Art Gallery(1966年成立)举办个展。
- 1966年8月,Frank Sullivan 先生(马来西亚国家美术馆义务秘书)为李健省在巴生和吉隆坡共用的的个人画展纪念册写序言。(注:1966年为配合校庆回馈母校,李健省毅然将筹备中的吉隆坡个展作品(@1966年10月17~22日/马来西亚艺术理事会Arts Council Malaysia主办)提前移至滨华中学大礼堂展出(@1966年8月27~31 日),创造了开埠以来第一个于巴生市举行的个人画展;接着1968年雪兰莪苏丹殿下在巴生Klang Club主持李健省在巴生的第二次个人画展开幕礼。)
- 以下4个标志性的个展与联谊群展合力激活了巴生艺术生态: I. 1966-08-27~31:开埠以来第一个于巴生市举行的《李健省个展》(@ 巴生滨华中学大礼堂),领头激活了巴生的艺术活动。在开幕日现场与来宾庄金秀即兴掀起一项跨族群联谊群展的构思,即“雪州王城画展”。
II. 1967-03-04~08:临时召集《第一届雪州王城画展》跨族群联谊群展(@ Dewan Melayu Klang马来人大会堂),由一个临时画展筹委会运作,李健省是召集和负责人之一。
III.
1968-05-14~16:由一个临时画展筹委会运作《第二届雪州皇城画展》跨族群联谊群展( @ 巴生福建会馆)。李健省主编纪念特刊。Frank Sullivan先生被邀请出任该活动的顾问之一,Frank Sullivan对巴生艺坛的贡献重大,姚拓先生也功不可没。李健省自1969年4月游学国外多年。
IV.
1968-10-10 :雪州苏丹殿下于巴生俱乐部(Royal Klang Club)开幕《李健省画展》 ,奠定了向外“打开巴生艺术之门”的基础。
(缘起:巴生皇家俱乐部(Kelab
Di Raja Klang/Royal Klang Club)历史超过百年,60年代艺术气息浓厚文化素质高,曾是马来西亚戏剧活动重镇之一,对马来西亚的戏剧发展有一定的贡献。1967年时任会长 R.J.
Colins 先生热心艺术,业余兴趣导演戏剧,在海峡时报的新闻(“Young artist to hold one-man exhibition”
1966-10-18 The Straits Times Malaysia)发现李健省。那时李健省画室在偏僻的郊区(Lot 831,c-9,Bukit Raja,Klang)没电话,R.J.
Colins 先生马不停蹄四处探听,最终给他找到。R.J.Colins先生热心邀李健省参与该俱乐部之戏剧活动负责舞台设计 (The Lesson by Eugene Ionesco
translated from the French by Donald Watson @ Klang Club Directed by Reginald
Collins 1968 ) ,李健省乐意免费帮他。R.J.Colins先生与雪州苏丹殿下是好友,之后,在他的诚意安排下,促成了1968年的《李健省画展》。)

Dato’(Ms) P.G.Lim delivered the following
official speech at the presentation of awards of the Young Contemporary
Exhibition 2000 at the
[ Since its inception in 1974, the Young
Contemporaries Exhibitions (
This year there was a panel of six judges which
included a guest judge – an art lecturer from the University of the
The Judges’ Report draws attention to the fact that
the works displayed are dominated by installation and multimedia works;
paintings are in a very small minority. This is very evident when one views the
works. It is a development upon which globalisation even in art has had a
profound impact. The predominance of installations present in this exhibition
irrespective of which school of art you may come from is proof enough of that.
Installation art is not new, but it is of recent
origin. In the 1970’s it was a newborn term, and did not rate as a term of
specialization until the 1980’s. The term used was mixed media; now such works
are described as multimedia. For example, the Balai Seni (National Art Gallery,
Malaysia) from the very beginning in 1975 has used the term media campuran
(mixed media) to describe its prize-winning installation works of the seventies
and eighties. In today’s catalogue however the term used is simply campuran
(mixed) – no less and no more, but we may conclude that they are in fact
installations.
We may, I think take a little pride to discover
that our own young artists of the seventies and eighties were already involved
in creating their own three-dimensional works which did not fall into the
category of painting or sculpture. Specialisation in installations had not yet
begun. But the creative process among our young artists was at work. If you
will take a little time to browse through that excellent Review of the
Young Contemporaries Malaysia – Imbasan Bakat Muda Sezaman – from its
inception in 1974 to 1997 you will discover to your surprise that at the second
Y.C. Exhibition in 1975 the major award was won by Lee Kian Seng for his installation
Permainan Poker or Process in Poker Playing then described
as Media Campuran (mixed media). But before that he had won an award in 1973
with another installation work called Mankind (created in 1972) now in
the collection of the Balai Seni (National Art Gallery, Malaysia).
This was in the seventies before installation
art had acquired its name as such. Lee Kian Seng whom I would describe as the
progenitor or father of installation art in
Lee Kian Seng was followed in 1981 – the year
when the Y.C. Exhibitions were resumed after a hiatus of some four years by
another major award winning installation by Ponirin Amin with his Alibi Catur
Di Pulau Pinang. The following year 1982 it was Zacharia Awang who won the
major award with his installation work Al Rahman. From 1988 onwards both
major and minor awards have been given to multi media and installation works.
It seems that the entries were dominated by such works. Little wonder then that
these developments have culminated – with one exception – in all awards whether
major “Jurors” or special mention being won by multi-media and installation
works in today’s exhibition.
You will find works which involve groupings of
objects in three dimensional space which can be walked around or through or
handled and felt. The installations are formed of many components and the
materials diverse and complex. Sometimes they are presented elegantly, sometimes
in ways which are ugly or inelegant as in some exhibits in the
I congratulate the Young Artists for having
participated in this competition and showing us the level of their
achievements. By doing so they are making a positive contribution towards the
development and promotion of the visual arts. ]

For
the 45 @ 45 exhibition (in 2003), in conjunction with the 45th year of its

selected and interpreted the work <Of ' Image, Object, Illusion ' -Off

Lee Kian Seng(李健省)http://www.leekianseng.com/lee_Bio.html)
Lee Kian Seng is one of the foremost multi-medium contemporary artist in Malaysia, with works including painting, sculpture, lithography, resist-dyeing, and installation art. Born in China in 1948, he moved with his mother and brother in 1953 to join his father in Singapore and subsequently settled down in Klang, Malaysia a year later.
He was first invited to the “Annual Invitation Exhibition" by the National Art Gallery of Malaysia in 1964 with the work "The Beggar and the Bird"(三轮车夫与鸟).
At the age of 18, the Arts Council of Malaysia presented his solo exhibition (in 1966) to critical acclaim, and he has since had twenty-two in Malaysia, Thailand, and Japan .
Pursuing lifelong learning, his other principle research area since 1964 is “dyeing art” including 3 years of independent study based in Tokyo (1969 – 1972), covering Ukiyo-e of the Edo period among others; and created the work “Unity” at the Malaysian Pavilion, World EXPO 70 Osaka in1970. He has conducted interdisciplinary research "Comparative study---Dyeing Art” at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and Tokyo Print-making Research Studio (1976-1977).
