The orang asli (aborigine) is shown in a contemplative mood, and is modelled using delicate strokes through the skilful treatment of light. The subtle tones of the body has allowed the intricate patterns on the fabric 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).
