Low Hai Hong was born in Indonesia in 1941 and moved to Singapore, where he attended the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1961. At the institution, Low studied Western Painting under pioneer artist Georgette Chen. He frequented Indonesia in the 1990s, returning to his hometown and seeing other parts of Indonesia, such as Jakarta and Bali. The artist exhibited his impressive oil paintings in seven solo shows, each featuring an exquisite collection derived from his travels.
Autumn Scenery was painted in 1993, a modest and concise work framing a beautiful European landscape. Low combines various colours and brushstrokes to imbue a vibrant spirit to the scene. A grove of multicoloured trees and shrubs sits under a bright blue sky, evincing the warmth of autumn.
