Chung Chen Sun (b. 1935) Untitled, 2014
Est: RM18,000 - RM32,000
In certain respects, Chung Chen Sun tilts the Chinese ink philosophical order to that of humans over landscapes, with his depiction of humans looming large and dominating the paper surface. The voluminous scale is to show plenty and a capacity either for work or hardship, and it is also his stylized figuration as opposed to say, the thin, distended ones espoused by his mentor at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Art, Cheong Soo-pieng. In the work, a little girl highlighted in red dress is shown affectionately hugging a man, possibly the father or an uncle, dominating half the âcanvasâ, as he puts a reassuring and protective arm over her. Chung himself has three daughters. Chung Chen Sun is the superlative artist and academician, having founded or helped found five art institutions in Malaysia and China, including the Malaysian Institute of Art and was its principal/president from 1967 until 1999. He also formed the International Contemporary Ink Painting Association in 1982. In 1992, he was honoured as one of the worldâs Top 10 Hakka Personalities. In 2005, the Five Decades of Chung Chen Sun exhibition was held at the National Art Gallery, and in 2007, the international Art Expo Malaysia honoured him with a Tribute Pavilion. After his studies at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore (1953-55), Chung did his Masters in Public Administration at the University of San Francisco, USA (1984-1986). He has had solos in Taiwan, China, Singapore, Holland and Thailand since his first solo in Kuala Lumpur in 1964. It was only in 2009 that he held his homecoming solo in Malacca. 70 x 110cm
