Composed with a dreamlike feeling and clarity, this work shows an exceptional vision of nature consisting of unique shapes, tones and forms. Eiffel Chong uses landscapes and objects to present a view of society. Love From A Sister To A Sister is from the series A Matter Of Life And Death which is the artist’s commentary “on the excesses of globalisation, the deterioration of a society driven by materialism over community, economic prosperity over natural preservation”.
Eiffel Chong graduated with an MA in International Contemporary Art and Design Practice from the University of East London and a BA (Hons) in Photography from London College of Printing. Besides his production of photographic work, Chong is highly engaged with the Malaysian photographic community; taking on the role of mentor for the Nikon Shooting Stars programme and Exposure+ Workshop. In addition, he has been appointed to the panel of judges for the Kuala Lumpur Photography Awards 2016 & 2013 and 2017 Annual Nikon Photo Awards, Malaysia. |
