Chong Fah Cheong

Fah Cheong has an excellent website, filled with information. Below follows a short excerpt from his bio.

In the context of the Singapore art scene, Fahcheong is regarded as one of its pioneer sculptors. In recognition of this, the National Museum of Singapore invited Fahcheong in 1991 to show his works at a national sculpture exhibition, Sculpture in Singapore. The museum, now known as the Singapore Art Museum, has a strong collection of Fahcheong's sculptures.

Several of his public marble sculptures can also be seen in Singapore. They include "Temu-sek", outside the Somerset mass rapid transit station, "Bull and Bear", at the Stock Exchange of Singapore, "Mama's Precious One" at the Housing and Development Board headquarters, and "Holy Family", done for a church in Katong.

Clearly I have some more work to do!
