Chuah Thean Teng has sure come a long way. An artist who was once a helper to his mother, designing shoes, became one of the most renowned artists and is highly respected by his peers and followers. The Mother and Children displays one of his magnificent batik works. The inundated green hues create a nurturing tone for the art piece and his subject of this piece proves Chuah’s heavily influenced by his mother.
