Chuah Seow Keng specialises in complex mosaic compositions with a stylised interplay of organic and geometric forms in batik. He is also adept at making fibreglass sculptures and Chinese brush paintings in bold abstract splotches. Apart from painting, he mainly handles the art and antiques business aspects of Yahong Art Gallery, sourcing works from China, Thailand and Indonesia.
