Works by Chong Soon Leong
Chong Soon Leong is an emerging artist from Malacca. The young painter graduated from the University of the West of England, Bristol, in 2014. Since then, Leong has participated in a few group exhibitions under G13 gallery.
Leong portrays mostly full-figure portraits of children. The artist also implements a lot of colourful cultural imageries in the background while being balanced by white carving and scratching to counter-balance the space of the painting. Children are his primary subject as they are not bounded by race, skin colour, religion, custom and beliefs. Through his artwork, Leong would like to convey the message of peace, harmony and unity within the people of Malaysia which practices different culture and belief since its independence.
