Liew Kwai Fei
(b. 1979, Malaysia)
Liew Kwai Fei is recognised today as one of the most exciting new generation of contemporary painters in Malaysia. Spanning over a decade, his practice explores the hybridity of the painting medium and its capacity to communicate ideas spanning class, race, and language to the humbling experience of the unspeakable when we encounter art. Liew has had more than ten solo exhibitions to date and has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Malaysia and Singapore. His work has also been collected by institutions such as the National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, and the Singapore Art Museum. Liew makes a living as a painter and an art teacher.
