Leong Iat-hong
"I like painting, like red, like green. Clay-making is fun. Clay is very soft."
Those overlapping colour lines reveal the number of times which Iat-hong has travelled on a particular line clearly. No matter how densely these small and bits of lines are placed, they are distinct enough to show where Iat-hong‘s strokes were set.
Iat-hong's learning abilities are very high. He is patient and loves trying new things. He does not only enjoy dancing and performing, but also creating artworks. Normally, Iat-hong likes raising questions. However, he becomes very quiet and attentive when he does his creation, a number of colourful and meticulous art pieces are then created.
If a conversation has traces and colours, then we can see how Iat-hong is doing his best to find his unique way to mark the traces of his living.
Lat Hong’s works are characterised with layers of short and repeated lines approaching from different directions to constitute the composition of the paintings. However densely placed, one can still easily trace how many times Lat Hong has been travelling on a line. His painting style is no different from his love for conversation. If a conversation has colours and traces, then one can see how much effort he has made to ‘paint’ the traces of his life in his unique way.
