About Cheng Yen Pheng

Cheng Yen Pheng (b. 1982) approaches painting from multiple perspectives. Her practice has evolved from the controversial ABU work which she created for the National Art Gallery Malaysia’s Bakat Muda Sezaman (Young Contemporaries) 2014, to the mixed media works that she is known for today. Despite the variety of mediums, she remains focused on storytelling using 2D forms, while adopting natural materials, from roots to handmade Mulberry paper. She was awarded the main prize at the UOB Painting of the Year Malaysia 2019.
