      • Chang Yoong Chia (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1975) Pari-Pari, 2011
        Nov. 06, 2022

        Chang Yoong Chia (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1975) Pari-Pari, 2011

        Est: RM15,000 - RM23,000

        Meanings in a globalised world can be elusive, effusive and transformative, yet can be anything but definitive. Things are rarely what it seems, what we see or what others see and perceive. The Malay word, pari, conjures an image of the stingray but is manifested here as a diamond-shaped form as a painted handkerchief, it also attains Godlike status with the plethora of smoke or clouds all around. What it all boils down to, from the interpretations of images to the combination of painting materials and unconventional surface, and how it may well impact meaning, is for both viewer and even artist to find out. It's been said that the eyes are windows to the soul, and the ikan pari are a unique species, breathing through holes just behind the eyes called spiracles. This work was shown in the contemporary art exhibition by 21 Malaysian artists organised by HOM Art Trans at Taman Budaya, Yogyakarta, on Nov 14-23, 2012. Fresh from his Leipzig, Germany, artist's residency smack in the coronavirus pandemic, Chang Yoong Chia is one of the busiest globe-trotting artists having residencies and exhibitions. The Leipzig award was part of Goethe-Institut's LIA Programme Spinnerei Open Studio, his second German stint since his Deutsch learning stint in Berlin in 2007. His AIRs include Uyman (Tobiu Art Festival, Japan, 2019), Sapporo (2017, 2008), 1 Shanti Road (Bangalore, India), Pinyao, China (2010), Tembi Yogyakarta / Valentine Willie Fine Art (2010), Wanakio, Meijima Art Centre, Okinawa, Japan (2008), Chiayi, Taiwan (2007), Ujiae Art Studio, Gwangju, Korea (2007), Rimbun Dahan, Kuang (2006), C21, Blackburn, UK (2006), and KHOJ, Mysore, India (2002). He has been invited for prestigious exhibitions such as the 3rd Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial 2005, World Social Forum Porto Alegre Brazil 2005, Bangladesh Asian Art Biennale, Dhaka (2010), 2nd Chongqing Youth Biennale (2011), Welcome To The Jungle, Japan (2013), Start Art Fair, London (2014), Journey, Jerusalem (2014), Open Sea, Lyon, France (2015), Asia Young 36, Jeonju, South Korea (2016), and in Malaysia, the KL Biennale (2017-2018). Yoong Chia was a finalist in the APB Signature Art Prize in Singapore (2011) and had many solos since 2004, including a mid-career survey show, Second Life, at the National Art Gallery Malaysia, in 2018-2019. He was educated at the Malaysian Institute of Art, Kuala Lumpur.

      • Chang Yoong Chia (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1975) From Hero To Zero, 2014
        Nov. 15, 2020

        Chang Yoong Chia (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1975) From Hero To Zero, 2014

        Est: RM45,000 - RM70,000

        History is manmade, man unmade and man remade, according to changing circumstances, changing times. And the history books are written by the victors. The price is often heavy, in blood, sweat and tears. There will always be interpretations, depending on which side it is taken from, and nuances. What is the real truth, long after all the protagonists are dead, scholars and generations thereafter pored over the incidents with the details getting fuzzier and more slippery. At the bottom of this triangular work is a statement: “It is irrelevant whether I succeeded or failed, at least I did what I did,” an extract from the Malayan communist leader Chin Peng’s farewell letter made public after he died. Some kind of images can be gleaned from the painting plastered with postage stamps of soldiers and the fallen. Chang Yoong Chia made an impact when he was chosen a finalist in the APB Signature Art Prize in Singapore in 2011. He has been exposed to major international exhibitions and residencies all over the world. The exhibitions include the 3rd Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial 2005, World Social Forum Porto Alegre Brazil 2005, Bangladesh Asian Art Biennale, Dhaka (2010), 2nd Chongqing Youth Biennale (2011), Welcome To The Jungle, Japan (2013), Start Art Fair, London (2014), Journey, Jerusalem (2014), Open Sea, Lyon, France (2015), Asia Young 36, Jeonju, South Korea (2016), and in Malaysia, the KL Biennale (2017-2018). He also had whirlwind schedule of residencies, the latest being in Leipzig, Germany, under the Goethe-Institut, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. His other art residencies were at Uyman (Tobiu Art Festival, Japan, 2019), Sapporo (2017, 2008), 1 Shanti Road (Bangalore, India), Pinyao, China (2010), Tembi Yogyakarta / Valentine Willie Fine Art (2010), Wanakio, Meijima Art Centre, Okinawa, Japan (2008), Chiayi, Taiwan (2007), Ujiae Art Studio, Gwangju, Korea (2007), Rimbun Dahan, Kuang (2006), C21, Blackburn, UK (2006), and KHOJ, Mysore, India (2002). Since 2004, he had 12 solos, including a mid-career survey show, Second Life, at the National Art Gallery, in 2018-2019. He was educated at the Malaysian Institute of Art, Kuala Lumpur.

        Est: RM14,000 - RM20,000

        God Save the Queen! Queen Elizabeth II is a dignified monarch on her public appearances, but Chang poses the question — who is she behind it all, in her privacy? This work is one of the few works from his celebrated series The World Is Flat. In this series, Chang employed the use of stamps focusing his technique exclusively on the use of this unique medium to explore ideas of history, personal memory, as well as fading values associated with stamps. Chang Yoong Chia graduated from the Malaysian Institute of Art in 1996 with a Diploma of Fine Art in painting. Chia’s body of work, which range from Surrealist-inspired paintings, collages, paper sculptures to painted shells explore and provide a commentary on wide-ranging topics such as politics, religion and culture. His most recent 9th solo exhibition was titled How Are You? I Am Well, held at gallery A+ Works of Art in Kuala Lumpur.
