Barong Dreams

This work derived from a watercolor series called 'Something Else'. When painting these irregular, whimsical shapes and forms, I raise certain issues : Movement, trends, boundaries, design, color theory, and the walls that separate us.

Call it an experiment in the questioning of the status quo, or maybe it's just me leaving the comfort zone in search of a new adventure.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Nicholas Choong | Malaysia

A go-to conceptual artist for agencies and brands like MRT Gamuda, Uber Malaysia, Tiger Beer, restaurants as well as Accounting & PR Firms in Malaysia – Nicholas Choong is no stranger to the visual arts and design world. He studied watercolors under a mentor at the age of 13 and when he was 16 he learnt Graphic Design and Photography working as a Production Assistant in the film industry. By the time he was 19, Nicky (a moniker he goes by sometimes) was already working in the events, music & entertainment industry. The next 17 years of his life was spent working and raising a family before he began painting again in 2011. In 2014 he helped shape (and was the first artist in residence for) the sembilan Art Residency Programme in Seremban. During that time he also mentored under Wei Ling Gallery and has continued to exhibit his work in group and solo shows up till this day. In 2015 he opened his own studio, Satu Arts - and continued to work on his craft. Nicky also dabbled in installations, performance art and collaborative mural projects. In 2016, he began his foray into video production. In his paintings, Nicholas works in a series-based format and is known for his strong ink and line work.
