Artist Biography:
A first-generation Chinese who migrated to Singapore, and became firmly entrenched within what is now known as the ‘Nanyang’ style – or school – of Singapore art, Cheong Soo Pieng has been widely acclaimed as an artist whose personal career has undergone a myriad of transformations: stylistically ranging from the experimental to the traditional; with motifs drawn from the warmly local to elegantly abstract.
