Alex Leong's paintings reveal his passion for Penang's cultural heritage and historic structures. Executed in oil on canvas, Alex Leong renders the distinct architecture and local life, featuring the Penang hawkers who have contributed much to the local community, making an honest living. The landscape format allows the viewer to witness the breadth of the illustration featuring the community beneath the warm sky.

His solo exhibitions include Celebrations & Nostalgic Moments, The Art Gallery Penang (2020), Magic Moments, Jada Art Gallery, ION Art Gallery, Singapore (2018). His watercolour compositions of famous street scenes in Malaysia are well sought after by collectors.
