Penang-based Alex Leong has strongly committed to his art for over 20 years, establishing a solid portfolio that captures impressive scenes of local life. This painting shows a view of Concubine Lane, Ipoh. In the foreground, a man is seen cycling further up the street while a group of women are chatting, with a young child standing beside them. The composition is devised of broad planes with intricate architectural details of the building structure and windows. A flock of flying pigeons add movement and vitality to the scene. Alex Leong, born in 1969 in Penang, is catching the attention of collectors in these recent years, especially when his works are successfully auctioned off at various local art auction houses. With a few solo exhibitions along his journey as an artist, he has been actively participating in group exhibitions locally and abroad, e.g. China, Indonesia, and Korea. His watercolour compositions of famous street scenes in Malaysia are well sought after by collectors. Alex Leong’s first solo exhibition in Singapore titled “Magic Moments” was presented by Jada Art Gallery (2018), and it achieved great success.
