작품 상세

Chong Ai Lei's feminine figures are always poised with elegance. This work features a figure that embodies the energy and optimism of youth. The elegant contours of the figure's head and body are rendered with refined brushwork, demonstrating the artist's technique. Having dreams and goals in life provides a sense of direction, inspiring the pursuit of personal growth and accomplishment. Or is it suggesting erotic wild dream? Leaving it to the discretion of the viewers. Chong Ai Lei has the distinction of having three solos overseas: in Yogyakarta, Jakarta and Hong Kong, before her first Malaysian solo, When I See You Again, at The Edge Galerie in January 2018. From her graduation from the Dasein Academy of Art in 2005, her career path was relentless culminating in her turning professional in 2010. She won the Malaysian Emerging Artists Award in 2011 and got selected for international art fairs in Britain, South Korea (Gwangju and Busan), Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan (Taipei, Kaohsiung). She got honourable mention in the American Fremont Fellowship Asian Artists Programme in 2010 and 2011.
