Known for his unique fish eye painting composition; Chin Kong Yee morphs the past, present and future into one infinite image.

The Flower

A Closer Look at ‘The Flower’ There are a couple of facets to the enjoyment of Chin Kong Yee’s works. First, and the most evident, is the visual pleasure that his paintings bring. Saccharine yellows flirt with lush cobalt blues on the canvas, and swirling landscapes send the eyes on a kaleidoscopic viewing journey that has become the artist’s signature offering.

Chin Kong Yee’s photographies display his continuous search to capture his own experience of a time and place. The linear structure of his images appears to mock all traditional rules of painting.
