Exhibitions

UNABASHEDLY SENTIMENTAL and nostalgic, the latest works of contemporary artist Chong Ai Lei, 33, mark her fi rst solo show in Malaysia. Despite having participated in many group shows locally and three solo shows overseas, this is the fi rst time the fi ne art graduate is staging a solo exhibition in her home country. Entitled When I See You Again by Chong Ai Lei, the show will be held at The Edge Galerie and will feature eight large oil paintings. The format of the self-portraits is either 230cm by 170cm or 170cm by 230cm. The paintings convey a nostalgic yet melancholic mood as Chong revisits her childhood home in Segamat, Johor, where she was raised. The various rooms of the house serve as the backdrop for her paintings.
