Dragon Painting with Pey Chi
In honour of the 2024 Lunar New Year animal, artist Pey Chi will run you through how to paint a colourful and joyful dragon.
Born to Malaysian-Chinese parents in the month of the lion and the year of the dog, Pey Chi is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work is inspired by all things kitsch ’n’ cute.
Pey Chi hand-builds ceramic pots and mugs, hand-pokes tattoos, draws silly pictures, amongst other things. Her creative practice has been greatly influenced by her chronic illness Topical Steroid Withdrawal — motivating her to create work that brings herself joy, and others too.
The workshop coincides with the ‘Marvellous Mythical Mates: A Menagerie of Dream Pets' exhibition, a dedicated children's show by Vipoo Srivilasa that explores the theme of belonging.
