This marks the artist\u2019s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The first being Sing to the land of my heart in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Having recently become a mother for the first time, Cheong Kiet Cheng\u2019s perspective on life has been substantially altered. Through her latest body of works, Cheong uses life\u2019s latitude to probe, to prostrate before God. Every piece is created from tranquillity; the start of each piece represents a commencement of daily worship. Every day in this new phase of her life, Cheong encounters endless surprises that continue to astonish her. The artist then records her experiences in a whimsical composition of humans, animals and nature. Just like a pregnant mother devotes love to her child, Cheong Kiet Cheng devotes herself to the process of creating her works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is like each time I step into the forest, I am amazed at the wholeness of nature that God has given us. From there, I obtain the inspiration, ideas and love to create each work. Though we exist as creations of God, we also play a part in the creation of this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Sing to the land of my heart<\/em>, the artist explores the laws of the universe where all beings go through the impermanent process of birth, aging, sickness and death. Although beauty is not forever, decay is not necessarily ugly and we must come to terms with transience and imperfection. B<em>ehind Two Hills \u2013 The Chorus of Life<\/em> can be seen as the next chapter, the works convey messages of creation, birthing and coming to life whilst humbling and recognising the role that oneself plays in said process.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Behind Two Hills \u2013 The Chorus of Life will be showing from 3<sup>rd<\/sup> January to 28<sup>th<\/sup> February 2017 at Wei-Ling Gallery.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Wei-Ling Gallery is located at No. 8, Jalan Scott, Brickfields, 50470, Kuala Lumpur.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Please call 03-22601106\u00a0 or email <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"mailto:weiling.johnlim@gmail.com\">weiling.johnlim@gmail.com<\/a> for more information.<\/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  avia-builder-el-last  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<\/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-10367'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\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=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Cheong-Kiet-Cheng-cv.pdf\">Artist&#8217;s CV<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/e-catalogue.pdf\">View e-catalogue<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the-edge-Cheong-Kiet-Cheng.pdf\">The song in her soul &#8211; The Edge<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.star2.com\/culture\/arts\/2017\/01\/25\/cheong-kiet-cheng-captures-her-thoughts-on-the-everyday-in-between-two-hills-the-chorus-of-life\/\">Cheong Kiet Cheng captures her thoughts on the everyday &#8211; Star2<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinapress.com.my\/20170209\/%E8%81%B2%E8%89%B2%E8%88%9E%E5%8F%B0%E2%80%A7%E6%96%B0%E7%9A%84%E4%BA%BA%E7%94%9F%E6%96%B0%E7%9A%84%E9%A2%A8%E6%99%AF\/\">\u8072\u8272\u821e\u53f0\u2027\u65b0\u7684\u4eba\u751f\u65b0\u7684\u98a8\u666f &#8211; ChinaPress<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":10365,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[4],"class_list":["post-10367","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-exhibitions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/10367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/10367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10367"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=10367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
