Ch'ng Kiah Kiean, born Penang.A trained architect, an artist and a designer,his wiry, witty and quirky graphite drawings ofold Penang streetscapes are jazzy yetarchitectonic, capturing soulful places thatreverberate with the energy of lives lived in -even as they cling on, precariously, to time.

Kiah Kiean has a keen eye for the essential details and essence of things, fortified by his architectural training at the Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penangand his flair in graphic design. He is able to distill a chaotic street scene andreduce it to his now distinctive streetscape. Though his subject matter may berustic buildings, his drawings exude an obvious elegance and stylishnesswhich are most pleasant to the eyes.Lee Khai

嘉強涉獵的藝術有很多方面，其中最為人津津樂道的即是他的街景速寫。

憑著他對建築物的敏感，加上獨特的誇張但不失平衡的構圖，

再配以亂中有序的極富情感的線條，筆下的景物都活了起來。

尤其是老房子，再怎麼殘破簡陋不起眼的老屋在他筆下總能被注入新生命，

然後很驕傲地展示自己。

Kiah Kiean's love for the city and its heritage is conspicuous in this book.By representing the nooks and corners often ignored by the passer-by,he accentuates and thus elicits thought-provoking questions from the viewer of his works.Ambiga Devy

嘉強的素描不是對老街景物寫實的記錄，而是一種有感情的創作。

所謂曲則有情，水平垂直的建築物經過誇張的變形，皆成了有情之景。

他的素描像是對某一街角或建築物一角撒一團粗粗細細的線索，

然後深情地纏抱，以致景物變形得有情有趣，令人感動。

Kiah Kiean experiments with and explores all possibilities of expressing lines with graphite,giving his viewers much thought-provoking experience. As a direct approach to communicatingwith lines and tones he opts for just black and white sans colours so that his audiencemay enjoy his works without other distractions.Tan Lye Hoe
