      • Cheong Kiet Cheng (b. 1981) Once Upon A Time, 2015
        Oct. 01, 2023

        Cheong Kiet Cheng (b. 1981) Once Upon A Time, 2015

        Est: RM6,000 - RM11,000

        It's like Alice in Wonderland, a dream world where the girl with hair neatly tied in a ponytail and all dressed up for a party is celebrating alfresco with a bunch of hare and a fierce-looking lion which obviously wants to join in the fun too. Not the hare on her right which instinctively scampers away. Though hare does not enjoy a good press with all the unsavoury connotations, animals should not be discriminated against because of size, looks or (bad) habits. Nature is to be enjoyed in all its glory and with all the living things around, and Cheong Kiet Cheng means this as a reminder of happy coexistence and affinity to Nature. One of Kiet Cheng's solos was called Between Two Hills - The Chorus Of Life (2017). Her breakout exhibition was in a double billing with her husband, Hoo Kiew Hang, at White Box, MAP Publika, called Jojo In The Wonderland (2013), vis a vis her husband's Paradise Of Gods. Cheong graduated with a Fine Art Diploma from the Dasein Academy of Art in Kuala Lumpur in 2006. Then came a diverse exposure in 2012, when she got a Certificate in Journalism (Hang Xing Academy of Journalism, Kuala Lumpur), a Certificate in Basic Photography (PCP Art of Photography, KL) and a Certificate in Drama Acting (Pin Stage). She also had an artist's residency in Sasaran in 2012. Kiet Cheng was a finalist in the Malaysian Young Contemporary Artist (Bakat Muda Sezaman) competition in 2013, the Nokia Creative Art Awards in 2004 and 2005, and the Starhill Visual Art Award in 2011. She won 2nd Prize in the Watercolour category of the Tanjong Heritage Award in 2006 and the Bronze Prize in the Nanjing Art Festival in China. In 2016, she was awarded the Creative M50 in Shanghai, China.

      • CHEONG KIET CHENG (b. 1981) ENCOUNTER 2, 2015, Acrylic on canvas
        Apr. 23, 2017

        CHEONG KIET CHENG (b. 1981) ENCOUNTER 2, 2015, Acrylic on canvas

        Est: RM7,000 - RM12,000

        Welcome to the whimsical world of Cheong Kiet Cheng where humans and animals, and mutants of the two, exist in apparent harmony. There are big and small animals, the leopard and the hippopotamus sprouting wings, and with little naked creatures with human forms. The winged leopard with a uncannily human face is wooing a girl with cat-like lips, and yes, sprouting wings, too, looking away. It’s not sure if it/she is a girl with the upper part of the body not so formed. Probably she has some affection for the winged man on flying hippo looking her way. The aerial scene looks like one drawn from the Oscar Best-Picture-winning film, Avatar (2009). Many other creatures except for the koala bear, who seems to be put there hugging a tree for no other purpose than its adorable nature, are just hanging in midair, which makes one think why the others need wings at all! It’s just a fun, fantasy thing, so don’t look too deep. This work is from her solo at Wei-Ling Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, titled Sing To The Land of My Heart (2015), noted for the main work, Somewhere Only We Know. Her next solo was with the same gallery, Between Two Hills – The Chorus of Life (2017). Wei-Ling Gallery had featured her in group shows, Precious Little Pieces (2012) and Measuring Love (2013), before giving her a solo. She had had her first solo in 2013, in an exhibition called Jojo In the Wonderland, but sharing the White Box, MAP Publika, space with her husband, Hoo Kiew Hang, whose solo was titled ‘Paradise of Gods.’ Cheong obtained her Fine Art Diploma from the Dasein Academy of Art in Kuala Lumpur in 2006. She went on a learning binge in 2012, obtaining a Certificate in Journalism (Hang Xing Academy of Journalism, Kuala Lumpur), a Certificate in Basic Photography (PCP Art of Photography, KL) and a Certificate in Drama Acting (Pin Stage). In 2012, the Sasaran Art Foundation gave her an artist’s residency. She was a finalist in the Malaysian Young Contemporary Artist (BMS) competition in 2013, the Nokia Creative Art Awards in 2004 and 2005, and the Starhill Visual Art Award in 2011. She won 2nd Prize in the Watercolour category of the Tanjong Heritage Award in 2006 and the Bronze Prize in the Nanjing Art Festival in China. In 2016, she was awarded the Creative M50 in Shanghai, China.
