It's not often that we tarry to watch grasses, which represents Landscapes in art, and is used for landscaping in design aesthetics. Grass are monocotyledon herbaceous plants belonging to the Poaceae family, and while most are short in the tropics, they can grow unusually tall like in China (Hulunbuir), where Wong Perng Fey had lived for several years. Like humans, grass are diverse and adaptable to different climes and environments, even in deserts. They provide food for wandering animals, especially cows, and most important of all, oxygen to sustain life. And they are invariably green, reminescent of Tom Jones's song, Green Green Grass of Home, which adds the element of homes and rootedness. So, Perng Fey, who has done another grass work called Grassland (1999), shows the need to appreciate grass and the natural world around us.
Wong Perng Fey got a break when he was given a residency at Rimbun Dahan in 2002. He graduated from the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1998, and had solos in Kuala Lumpur, Sydney and Beijing besides participation in Art Fairs like Art Stage Singapore, Art Expo Malaysia and the Beirut Fair. He was represented by RKFA in solos like New Life, Transitions and Equilibrium.
