  • Teng Hiok Chiu (Chinese, 1903-1972) 1937 "Medina, Marrakech, Morocco" Oil On Canvas Painting
  • Painted in 1937, Medina, Marrakech, Morocco exemplifies Teng Hiok Chiu’s mature modernist approach to architectural landscape and daily life. The composition presents a bustling medina scene rendered through simplified geometric forms, flattened planes, and a carefully balanced palette of warm ochres, pinks, tans, and soft earth tones. Figures are stylized and rhythmic, serving as compositional anchors that animate the foreground while leading the eye into the dense cluster of buildings beyond. Chiu’s confident brushwork and restrained detail emphasize structure and atmosphere over literal realism, reflecting strong Post-Impressionist and early modernist influences. This work belongs to the artist’s important North African period, where his interest in light, color harmony, and cross-cultural subject matter is especially pronounced, resulting in a scene that feels both timeless and distinctly of its era.
  • Excellent condition. Age related wear.
  • Painting is 20" tall and 20" wide.
