The Visible Trail Of
CHANG FEE MING
Asia in Watercolour
| CHANG FEE MING was born in February 1959 in Malaysia, in the small town of Dungun in the coastal state of Terengganu. At first, he painted the life of the Malay villagers amongst whom he lived. Although his paintings of colourful batik sarongs hanging in the wind soon brought him early fame, he went away exploring the whole of Asia, looking for new challenges.
Since then, Fee Ming has never stopped growing. He now ranks among the finest of Asia’s watercolour artists. His works have been exhibited and collected throughout the world. Since 1995, his watercolours have appeared regularly in auctions at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Fee Ming has also received a few international awards, such as the “Rockport Publisher’s Award of Distinction” (USA). More recently, one of his works, The Year 2000, So What? was selected by Winsor & Newton for the United Nations’ Millennium Art Exhibition in London, Stockholm and New York.
Fee Ming is acclaimed for his extraordinary grasp of texture and light and for his orchestration of vibrant colours that confer a strong vitality to his paintings. Then, there is also his unique way of presenting subjects and creative compositions that focus attention on a detail, yet unmistakenly evoke a world around it.
“The Visible Trail” is a journey of discovery and wonder. It retraces Chang Fee Ming’s continued search for his art and his fascination with the ever-changing life of man. |
