DISCOVER THE WONDERS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA THROUGH ART
Exploring Southeast Asia with Chuah Thean Teng takes the reader through the Malaysian batik painter's life in Penang, Malaysia, where Chuah opened a batik factory following WWII. Focusing on his life after the closure of his batik factory, we see how Chuah persevered to make art with batik, becoming the father of batik painting. Through Chuah's paintings, readers will learn about the importance of batik in Malaysia's art world as well as the techniques of batik and batik painting. Chuah's artworks were featured in UNESCO's greeting cards in 1989. Readers will also get a glimpse of a Malaysian kampung and a Malaysian way of life.
