What Malaysian artist Wong Perng Fey holds his solo exhibition in Singapore at the Richard Koh Fine Art gallery for one more week, featuring eight mixed media paintings and four painted picture books that explore his experience living in Beijing since 2010. By adopting the lens of a migrant worker, Wong brings the realities of eviction and demolition to the foreground as the rapid modernisation takes over the city. After witnessing countless old villages being demolished to make way for newer developments, he interweaves his encounters into his works and attempts to document these disappearing landscapes. "Once these villages are gone, future generations can only get a glimpse of them through photographs", says Wong, who paints rusty stains and layers of ink on the images of the demolished villages to represent his personal journey in processing loss and displacement.
