Choy Chun Wei is one of Malaysia\u2019s fast rising stars on the contemporary arts scene.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Kuala Lumpur in 1973, Choy Chun Wei has made a name for himself with his unmistakable collage works. Since graduating in 1998 with a Graphic Design Degree (Honours) from the world-renowned Central Saint Martin\u2019s School of Art, London, Choy\u2019s art career has gone from strength to strength.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, he was awarded an Honourable Mention at the coveted Philip Morris Art Awards and in 2005 he was the recipient of the year-long Rimbun Dahan Residency. Most recently, it was announced that he had been selected as the artist for the prestigious Asian Artist Fellowship Grant and Residency bestowed by the Freeman Foundation,Vermont , USA for 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Choy is a meticulous artist who executes each of his works painstakingly, taking the time to research and explore each medium before applying it ton his work . Drawing constant inspiration from his environment (from the repetitive facades of suburban and consumer-driven Malaysia to the vast abundance of the countryside) his immediate surroundings are ever-present in all his works. Throughout has career so far, Choy has continually developed this technique to achieve an original style of work that is distinctly his own.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u2018Kaleidoscopic Landscapes\u2019 features at Wei-Ling Gallery,8 Jalan Scott, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, 50470,Malaysia from<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> 4th December-28th December 2007<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> Contact details:03-22601106\/07 0123025302 or weiling@weiling-gallery.com<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> www.weiling-gallery.com.The gallery is open Mon-Fri 12-7pm, Sat 10am-5pm, closed Sundays and Public Holidays.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031{\nheight:35px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Read catalogue essay \u201cChoy Chun Wei: Unexpected Trails\u201d by June Yap, Curator, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, 2007\" href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/portfolio-item\/read-catalogue-essay-choy-chun-wei-unexpected-trails-by-june-yap-curator-institute-of-contemporary-arts-singapore-2007\/\"><strong>Read catalogue essay &#8220;Choy Chun Wei: Unexpected Trails&#8221; by June Yap, Curator, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, 2007<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/Story\/?file=%2F2007%2F12%2F16%2Flifearts%2F19744620&amp;sec=lifearts\"><strong>Building on the Transient by Vivienne Pal<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CuRRENT\u00a0|\u00a0PAST works\u00a0|\u00a0press release Kaleidoscopic Landscapes Choy Chun Wei In December Choy Chun Wei, the artist who has become synonymous with deconstructed collage paintings, features at Wei-Ling Gallery with his first solo exhibition, \u2018Kaleidoscopic Landscapes \u2019.
