Mekong: Exploring the SourceMany are familiar with Chang Fee Ming's earlier work, capturing kampong life in his home state of Terengganu, or the colour and ceremony of Bali, even the splendour of Pagan's Buddhist culture.
In 2004, he exhibited the first body of his Mekong series, taking his audience into more unfamiliar and difficult territory.
The Mekong series is not only an invaluable document of communities whose survival may be threatened by the forces of change and development.
Four years on from his landmark Mekong exhibition, Chang Fee Ming unveils the sequel, a remarkable series of sixteen major watercolours and accompanying portraits, sketches and studies made from his travels to the Tibetan region around the source of the great river.
This current body of work explores the narratives embedded in the life and landscape of this beautiful but troubled area.
Mekong: Exploring the Source begins at VWFA KL and travels on to Vanessa Art Link at 798 in Beijing in May and to Singapore in July.
