This early composition reveals Anthonie Chong as a major figurative artist revered for his expressionistic works filled with emotional content. The theme of mother and child is achieved through a dynamic interplay of brushstrokes, evoking a sense of intimacy and affection. Anthonie Chong graduated in Graphic Design from the Perak Institute of Art in 1990. He won the Philip Morris Asean Art Award – Malaysia in 1998. In 2000, he switched to caricature-like iconography fusing eastern surrealism with digital technology, namely his e-monk creations which morphed into @-monk in 2010, and which was represented in three series – Community, Gaia and Mechanism. He had his first solo at the X Pub and Gallery in Penang.
