작품 상세

Acclaimed artist Chong Siew Ying’s technique, a creative use of Western and Eastern tonalities gives this monochromatic work a poetic aura. Painted in an expressive style the scene suggests spaciousness by the inclusion of a vast landscape with dense forests and plantations. It’s fortuitous that Chong Siew Ying furthered her art studies in France after a diploma in Graphic Design at the Petaling Jaya College of Art and Design. Supporting herself by working part-time as an au pair, she studied at the L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Versailles (1991-1994) and L’Atelier 63 (1994-1996), and had solos at the Maison Tch’A, Atelier d’Maravel and Gallery Café Panique. On her return, she was awarded an artist’s residency at Rimbun Dahan, and later the Fremont Fellowship at Vermont Studio Centre, United States. She won the Special Award in the Young Contemporary Artists (BMS) competition in 2002 and was a finalist in the Hong Kong Sovereign Art Prize in 2009. She was also featured in Art Stage Singapore in 2015 and had her solo Crying With Trees at The Edge Galerie in 2014.
