The Yahong Art Gallery is also
home to Malaysia's most celebrated batik artist, Datuk Chuah Thean Teng. Teng's
brilliant batik paintings, coupled with the work of his two artist sons, are
displayed in the gallery's upper level.
Yahong Gallery attractively
displays the original batik paintings of Chuah Thean Teng. His works are avidly
sought by both private collectors and museums throughout the world. Teng enjoys
notability as the father and master of batik painting. He has transformed the
ancient craft of batik into a fine art form. In addition, three of Teng's sons
are fine artists working in batik painting as well as several other mediums.
Although Teng's paintings occupy a prominent position in the gallery, Yahong
also displays works of other notable artists in watercolour, Chinese ink and
oil. Yahong's engaging display of vivid art work will tempt the casual buyer as
well as the serious collector.
CHUAH SEOW KENG 蔡小庆
Being the second son of Datuk
Chuah Thean Teng, Chuah Seow Keng, 70 is
recognized as one of Malaysia’s leading artists and is very well known for his
batik and watercolour paintings. Born in 1945 in Kelantan, Malaysia, Seow Keng
now makes his home in Penang. In 1968 he was awarded a scholarship to study at
the Suddeutsche Kunststoff-Zentrum in Wurzburg, Germany. While attending this
academy he specialized in fiberglass sculpture, a difficult, but rewarding art
medium. While being recognized as an accomplished sculptor, Seow Keng is also
acknowledged as a masterful batik artist. His abilities as an artist were
noticed at a very early age. He was exposed to the art of batik painting by his
father, the renowned artist Chuah Thean Teng, who pioneered batik painting as a
fine art form. Seow Keng excels in this intricate art technique and was chosen
to demonstrate his batik skills at the International Freundschaftheim in
Buckeburg, Germany. During 1974 Germany’s Television Channel Zweites-Deutsches-
Fernsehen-Trans-Tel made a documentary film of Seow Keng and his brothers who
demonstrated the art of batik painting for German viewers.
