Her practice has consistently been an extension of her life\u2019s journey, mimicking the twists and turns of her emotional state of mind as she is confronted by the vagaries and challenges of a life lived.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u2018Interwoven Terrains\u2019<\/em> can be viewed in some ways as a turning point, a critical shift in her life &#8211; as she emerges from \u2018rock bottom\u2019 for a gasp of air. These works are cathartic &#8211; a renewal. They have served to purify and heal her. An awakening. A revival. Through these paintings, layers of colours and effects, each representing a significant feeling or moment in her life, are carefully juxtaposed, forming a map of her inner soul. Symbols for the interlocution of her mental and physical state of mind. The dynamic gestures and textures offer a sense of space and time, transforming them into a deep and convoluted universe of their own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <em>The Republic,<\/em> Plato questioned, <em>\u201cHave you ever sensed that your soul is immortal and never dies?\u201d<\/em> Through this dialogue with Socrates, he points out that the soul is never stagnant; it grows constantly along with the course of time. Lines are crucial elements in Yau Bee Ling\u2019s paintings, and the spaces between them create paths for the eyes to wander eternally, like a never-ending maze. Seeing life as an extensive journey, Yau Bee Ling&#8217;s paintings are open-ended. One can imagine the continuity of her strokes stretching outside of the frame. Thus, there is no limit to the terrains in her landscapes, as there is no end to our metamorphosis; as long as we live, we&#8217;re in a permanent state of change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although Yau Bee Ling seeks to illustrate the landscapes that emerge from within, nature is still the source of her inspiration. That which has been God-given and created. The paintings borrow nuances from her environment, so as to portray the natural emotions that she feels as a person, a woman, a mother and an artist. Radiating strong and positive energy, the pieces <em>Underneath, Emerging, Flow of Radiance, Alive and Moving, <\/em>and <em>Explicitly Immersive Light I and II <\/em>adopt the colours of the light or flame, whereas the variations of green in <em>Living Pond,<\/em> <em>Contemplating Liberty<\/em> and <em>Contemplating Garden<\/em> permeate an aura of calm. On the other hand, the pieces <em>Harness of Joy,<\/em> <em>Glorious Contemplation (Green Lake),<\/em> <em>Awaiting in Serenity,<\/em> <em>Converging,<\/em> and <em>New Blossom<\/em> seem to appropriate the colour palette of a garden. This variety of sentiments and ambiences are woven together, all harmoniously through the act of painting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Born in Klang, Yau Bee Ling graduated with a full scholarship from the Malaysian Institute of Art in Fine Arts in 1995. She has exhibited extensively in exhibitions across Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Singapore. She represented Malaysia at the 9th Asian Art Bienniale in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and at the 2nd Fukuoka Triennale, Japan, where her pieces eventually became part of the Museum\u2019s permanent collection. Her works are part of numerous Malaysian and international collections. She is also the recipient of the 2016 Kuandu Residency Program of Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (KdMoFA), Taipei, Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Interwoven Terrains\u2019<\/em>\u00a0is featured at Wei-Ling Contemporary from 25<sup>th<\/sup> September \u2013 3<sup>rd<\/sup> November 2019.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Wei-Ling\u00a0Contemporary\u00a0is\u00a0located\u00a0at\u00a0RT01, Sixth\u00a0Floor,\u00a0The\u00a0Gardens\u00a0Mall,\u00a059200, Kuala<\/em><em> Lumpur, Malaysia.\u00a0<\/em><em>Admission\u00a0hours\u00a0are\u00a0Tuesday-Sunday 11am-7pm.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Please call\u00a0+60322828323\/\u00a0+60322601106\u00a0or\u00a0email: <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"mailto:noel.weilinggallery@gmail.com\">noel.weilinggallery@gmail.com<\/a> for\u00a0more information. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-14783'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><div class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-2a9015ff38129c418a3f2eafba3e9512 av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div '   ><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-61f1f3fb8a14755dafdb04b8bcedc67a av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_fourth  el_before_av_one_fourth  flex_column_div '   ><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-61f1f3fb8a14755dafdb04b8bcedc67a av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_fourth  el_before_av_one_fourth  flex_column_div '   ><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-61f1f3fb8a14755dafdb04b8bcedc67a av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_fourth  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div '   ><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-a07f7596b1fca85f6595a75d593069df\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-a07f7596b1fca85f6595a75d593069df{\nheight:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a07f7596b1fca85f6595a75d593069df hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_fourth  el_before_av_textblock  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '  style='font-size:14px; '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optionstheedge.com\/topic\/culture\/interwoven-terrains-reflection-artist-yau-bee-ling%E2%80%99s-life-and-inner-turmoils\">In full bloom by Mae Chan &#8211; Options, The Edge<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.star2.com\/culture\/2019\/10\/19\/art-exhibition-yau-bee-ling-wei-ling-contemporary\/\">Finds Joyous Painterly Groove in New Exhibition by Dinesh Kumar Maganathan &#8211; Star2.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Interwoven-Terrains-e-booklet.pdf\">Click to view e-booklet<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"PAGES_CONTAINERbg\" class=\"pc1bg\" style=\"text-align: right;\" data-reactid=\".0.$SITE_ROOT.$desktop_siteRoot.$PAGES_CONTAINER.$centeredContent.$bg\"><\/div>\n<h1 class=\"post-title left\"><\/h1>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"works\u00a0|\u00a0press release\u00a0| E-BOOKLET\u00a0| NEWS Interwoven Terrains Wei-Ling Contemporary presents \u2018Interwoven Terrains\u2019, by established Malaysian painter Yau Bee Ling - this body of work being her fourth solo exhibition in a 25-year career.
