颜色

谢焕洲于1970年从马来西亚艺术学院毕业，成为该学院首届毕业生。他以朴实、拙凿苍古的指画作品独树一帜。指画艺术是中国稀有的绘画技法，画家以指为笔，结合对绘画技巧的理解、对画题的感觉与颜色、水的运用以及触觉，表现艺术的心得，而谢焕洲则是我国的佼佼者。

谢焕洲于1979年在吉隆坡中华大会堂举办了首次个人指画展，随后在吉隆坡及其他地方展出，并走向国际舞台，包括大马国家画廊（1975）、新加坡（1990）、中国辽宁省博物馆（1991）、中国武汉美术中心（1992）等。他的指画过程曾被韩国录影队（2001）和TV2录影队（2004）录制并播放。他不仅创作，还致力于指画教育和推广，担任谢氏美术研究班以及马来西亚指画研究会的导师。

Graduating from the Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA) in 1970, Cheah Wun Chow is a Malaysian pioneer of the unique finger-painting technique in traditional Chinese ink art. His artistic footprint extends across various solo exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur, including Art House Gallery (1985), Miri Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (1996) and many more. His works were also exhibited at the National Art Gallery, Singapore, Liaoning Provincial Museum (China), among others. Notably, Cheah's finger-painting expertise earned him a special merit gold prize in China's "Top 100 Chinese Finger-Painting Artists' Artwork Collection" publication in 1992.
