Featuring more than 70 artworks from the Chung’s Collection, this exhibition which will be held at Visual Arts Centre from 13 to 19 October will feature most of Mr Chung Chen Chuan’s artworks as well as his family’s master pieces too. Mr Chung came from a calligraphy art family and his brother, Mr Chung Chen San is a renowned artist as well. It is the Chung’s Family first time marching into Singapore with their art pieces and share their inspirations behind them. Through his artworks, Mr Chung Chen Chuan expressed his feelings and perspectives towards nature and people in a unique way of expression that brings the audience through his lens of the world. Each of the Chung’s family members also had their exclusive way of expressing their artistic talents through various themes. Admission is free and we welcome everyone to experience the inspiration and the touching stories behind each art piece.
Chung Chen Chuan was born in year 1945 as the second son of the Chung family. Since young, he had a very deep impression of his childhood place, Malacca and decided to use it as the theme for his art pieces. These impressions inspired him to create artworks based on the surroundings and animals he saw when growing up. Chen Chuan is known for his love towards his childhood place, Malacca and he used his artworks to depict his happiness while growing up as a child. It is common to see his artworks filled with birds, chickens, bamboo and flowers as these are the sightings he had during his growing up years.
In total, he has been in this industry for a total of 30 years and his skills are highly recognised by many art associations where he was invited to be the consultant for many art associations both in Singapore and Malaysia.

The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
