Historic Movers & Shakers, and the Doomed – Lo Chan Peng Solo Exhibition
I listen to the whispers of my paint when I work, I listen to them telling me how to brush and spread, and I listen to their advice on which direction to turn.
Yes, listen, because I believe every being in this world has a voice, and you just need to listen carefully. Even the sunshine and the wide are trying to tell you something.
The sceneries outside my studio speeds past me. This year has made a huge impact on humanity, but I have remained in front of the canvas as I try to find the meaning of art. Layers of paint have accumulated at the edge of my canvases, like layers of rocks in geology, piling up day after day and year after year.
I decided to name the solo exhibition “Historic Shakers & Movers, and the Doomed” as I present my “Children of Syria” and “Historic Figures” series together for the first time, for this year has been particularly peculiar and I would like to conclude with these works which are significant to me.
Painting in search of its true meaning is not a bad experience at all.
I sincerely invite you to join Professor Chen Kuang-Yi and I in conversation on the day of the opening reception where I will be happy to sign copies of my brand-new exhibition catalogue.

I promised that I would share everything that I’ve done that contributed to this transformation of mine.
Besides my usual training regime for Ironman triathlons and my new hobby of wakeboarding, I had a majorcleanup of the diet where I cut out junk food and replaced simple carbs with complex carbs.
There was one more thing I did - I took a health supplement called Pruvit.
I first heard about Pruvit in 2018 and I tried it back then, along with a ketogenic diet. The Pruvit Keto OS is an exogenous ketone supplement that helps your body achieve ketosis (where the body burns fat instead of carbs for energy) quicker.
In 10 days, I lost nearly 2kg on a keto diet but I felt terrible. I had no energy to train and I was craving for carbs so badly. Thus I decided to stop the ketogenic diet completely and also stop taking Pruvit.
Early this year, I decided to give Pruvit a second chance. This time, I took Pruvit as a health supplement, as the Pruvit ketones are actually diet independent, meaning you can take them regardless of what diet you are on, and you will still gain the benefits of ketones.
For two months, I drank the Pruvit Keto OS everyday together with my change in diet and my training regime. I conclude that Pruvit has contributed to my transformation – both physical and emotional. I have not only leaned out, but I also feel a lot better, with more energy.
I’m not saying you need to exercise as much as I do, or go to extremes and cut out junk food entirely, but I believe you will see results from taking ketones. By results, I mean improved energy and improved body composition.
The focus here is not on weight loss, as Pruvit is NOT a weight loss supplement. However, if you take care of your body right, you might see weight loss as a bonus.
I would say that Pruvit is for people who feel tired all the time and want to improve your energy levels, and for people who want to improve their body composition (ie. more muscle, less fat).
I am sharing my experience because this worked for me and if you have any questions or is keen to try, just hit me up or check it out here: http://youreadyto.pruvitnow.com.

The Deep Revelations of Melchizedek
“Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing. For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby. But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.” (Hebrews 5:9-14 WEB)
There are revelations about Melchizedek that spiritually immature believers aren’t ready to accept nor understanding because they aren’t established in the basic Gospel truth about how righteousness comes about: by faith in Jesus and His finished work at the cross, not by the works of the Law.
For those who are ready to receive, consider this passage:
“For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”; without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best plunder. They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham, but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises. But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater. Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.” (Hebrews 7:1-8 WEB)
The author is about to reveal the deep revelations about Melchizedek that only spiritually mature Christians can accept and understand.
The name Melchizedek in Hebrew means “king of righteousness”.
He is also the king of Salem (the old name for Jerusalem) which means peace (shalom) in Hebrew.
Who is this mysterious priest to God that was appointed before the Old Covenant of the Law was even given?
He is without parents or genealogy, meaning he wasn’t born—he’s not human.
He has no beginning of days or end of life meaning he is an eternal being who wasn’t created and cannot die—in other words, he is God. Even angels are created beings.
Melchizedek blessed Abraham—he didn’t curse Abraham or impose any laws on him.
We learn that Melchizedek’s priesthood is about righteousness, peace and blessing.
Melchizedek remains a priest continually—an unbroken, unending priesthood.
The author seems to be leading the recipients of this letter to conclude themselves that Melchizedek is Yahweh—the eternal Word of God and pre-incarnate Christ.
Therefore Melchizedek is not a name, but one of Yahweh’s titles that tells us about Himself.
Note that Jesus will be the King of Jerusalem in the Millennium, as well as in the eternal city of New Jerusalem, so He is the eternal King of Salem.
Abraham seems to have had a revelation that Melchizedek is the eternal God, therefore recognizing Him, he gave a tithe to Melchizedek as an act of worship.
Abraham tithed long before the Law was ever given, so he tithed voluntarily out of having a revelation, not because he was forced or threatened with a curse.
In contrast, the Levitical priesthood made up of mortal men collected tithes from Israel because of the commandment of the Law.
It is greater to tithe voluntarily out of faith rather than to tithe under compulsion out of duty.
Aside from this, Melchizedek came to Abraham with bread and wine—a picture of the Lord’s Supper.
“Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High. He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth: and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.” (Genesis 14:18-20 WEB)
The deep revelations of Melchizedek are this:
1. Jesus is Melchizedek. He is always the high priest to God—before His incarnation, after His incarnation and forever.
2. Tithing is an act of worship to declare that Jesus is great. It also proclaims His resurrection from the dead—that He is alive forevermore. Tithing is the way of receiving God’s blessing of provision.
3. The Lord’s Supper is a meal of blessing that proclaims Jesus’ death at the cross. The Lord’s Supper is the way of receiving God’s blessing of health and healing.
