Known as a figurative painter, Liew Choong Ching has been working as a full time artist since 1999. The beautiful dancer is shown in a contemplative mood and is modelled using delicate strokes through the skilful treatment of light. The harmonious colour palette has allowed the elaborate patterns on the fabric and headdress to stand out. Liew Choong Ching received his education from Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1994. His solo exhibitions include Tropical Fragrance, Balai Berita NSTP, KL (2009), Shadow & Light, Galeri Seni Mutiara, Penang (2010), and Secret Battle, ArtSeni Gallery, KL (2011). Selected exhibitions include Safari Asian Watercolour Expression, Bentara Budaya Jakarta (2012) and Impression of Malaysia Contemporary Art Exhibition (2010). Selected Public Collections include Kontena Nasional and PNB (Permodalan Nasional Berhad).
