Alex Leong's paintings reveal deep affinity for Penang's cultural heritage and historic structures. Executed in bold, delightful colours, Alex Leong pays tribute to the Penang hawkers and trishaw workers who have contributed much to the local community, making an honest living. The landscape format allows the viewer to witness the breadth of the illustration featuring people amidst the scenery, united in joyful harmony.
With many solo exhibitions along his journey as an artist, Alex Leong has been actively participating in group exhibitions locally and abroad, e.g. Singapore, China, Indonesia, and Korea. His solo exhibitions include Watercolour On Canvas (2022), Celebrations & Nostalgic Moments (2020), at The Art Gallery Penang; Magic Moments, Jada Art Gallery, ION Art Gallery, Singapore (2018). His watercolour compositions of famous street scenes in Malaysia are well sought after by collectors.
