The Eiffel Tower, which elicited torrents of ‘No’ from the sceptics and naysayers of the day, is one of the most visited human super-structures since its creation for the 1889 World Fair. With a 360-degree twist, Chin Kon Yee warps the perspective-dimensions into what he dubbed Actuality Accorded Painting (AAP). Here, he takes an upskirt peek from the underbelly revealing the wrought-iron ‘innards’, in Eiffel Tower Brown, and with the split ground splayed into diametrically opposed veneer against an obviously dark-blue evening sky. The height of 324 metres is telescoped to an X-like sign on top. With this imaginative technique, Chin has garnered a lot of attention as he zooms in his palette on other iconic places. It’s a long-awaited debut by Chin Kong Yee in the Henry Butcher Art Auction. Chin had eight solo exhibitions since his Undulating Spaces at Townhouse Gallery (precursor to Wei-Ling Contemporary), which has showcased him except the one in France in 2007. Educated at the Central Academy of Art, Kuala Lumpur, in 1990, Chin has featured in several prestigious international art-fairs: Art Stage Singapore thrice (2011, 2015, 2016), Art Kaoshiung 2015, Art Beijing 2016, Art Stage Jakarta 2016, Art Expo Malaysia 2018, and Art Jakarta 2019. He was invited for two art residencies, namely Pangkor Laut Resort in 2004, and Tanjung Jara Resort in 2002.
