What They say about Ch'ng


"Chng Huck Theng’s “The Journey” series is much revealing to the viewer about his manner and thoughts, the art works is a reflection of his physical and inner-self, questioning his surrounding, and a lot of other things, demanding answers. Therefore painting as medium for him to freely express is a perfect choice."Dr Mohamed Najib Ahmad DawaDirector-General, National Art Gallery Malaysia 2009


"Chng’s current work of art is beyond most artist where freedom and expression play a very strong role. This is a good sign as the artist (Chng) has moved ahead and achieved an identity that most artist can only dream off."Dr. Suchat VongthonPresident of Suchat Vongthong Foundation, Thailand 2009 



"We have chosen to represent Chng as our first Malaysian residence artist simply because his works are original and we believe he can go far as an Asian artist.”Ali KusnoOwner, Linda Gallery 2008 



"Huck Theng is perhaps ready to beat his wings and fly upwards into the boundless sky. His journey, up to this point has been rich, diverse and exciting!" Hasnul J.SaidonDirector, Muzium & Gallery Tuanku Fauziah, University Science Malaysia 2008



"...the current body of works, in all its’ aesthetic splendour and heartily delivered strokes are a homage to beautiful predicaments...these beautiful predicaments may actually serve as more than a temporary adobe of Chng’s wandering and ever aspiring spirit." Zanita AnuarDirector, Research & Development - National Art Gallery Malaysia 2008



"Your (Chng Huck Theng) initiative and vision to interact and develop strategies for visual and modern art in Malaysia especially deserve a big acknowledgement." Wairah Marzukiformer Director General, National Art Gallery and Chairman of the Trustee Acquisition Board, Malaysia 2007



"Form his explosive entry into the Penang art scene at the Chung Ling Artists Invitational Show in 2002, Chng Huck Theng was to be anything but another artist painting more than the same. Still only 35 years old, Chng Huck Theng’s art is an exciting work in progress." Dato Tang Hon YinChairman, Penang State Art Gallery 2007
