| Synopsis : | Born in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia in 1959, Chang Fee Ming is a self-taught artist who began his career in the early 1980’s. Many are familiar with his earlier works, which captured the kampung life in his home state of Terengganu, or the colour and ceremony of Bali, and even the splendour of Pagan’s Buddhist culture. In 2004, he exhibited the first body of his Mekong series, taking his audience into more unfamiliar and difficult territory. The Mekong series is not only an invaluable document of communities whose survival may be threatened by the forces of change and development. Four years on from his landmark Mekong exhibition, Chang Fee Ming unveils the sequel, a remarkable series of sixteen major watercolours and accompanying portraits, sketches and studies made from his travels to the Tibetan region around the source of the great river. This current body of work explores the narratives embedded in the life and landscape of this beautiful but troubled area. "Mekong: Exploring the Source" begins at VWFA KL and travels on to Vanessa Art Link at 798 in Beijing in May and to Singapore in July. |

| what same subjects? 'I know you can't wash in the same river even once/I know the river will bring new lights you'll never see' - Nazim Hikmet It's trite comments like yours that make artists want to pack up and go home, or stay put, just to spite you.

| The style is obviously the same. But for Fee Ming, it is something intrinsic that makes his art essential.
