Yahong Art Gallery

Batu Ferringhi, Penang Island's beautiful beach resort, has more to offer than just sun and surf. Located in its midst is Yahong Art Gallery, the largest arts and crafts center on the island. Yahong brings together a rich variety of artwork and handicrafts by both Malaysian and Asian artists. The Yahong Art Gallery is also home to Malaysia's most celebrated batik artist, Chuah Thean Teng. Teng's brilliant batik paintings, coupled with the work of his two artist sons, are displayed in the gallery's upper level. Yahong Gallery attractively displays the original batik paintings of Chuah Thean Teng. Teng enjoys notability as the father and master of batik painting. He has transformed the ancient craft of batik into a fine art form. In addition, three of Teng's sons are fine artists working in batik painting as well as several other mediums. Although Teng's paintings occupy a prominent position in the gallery, Yahong also displays works of other notable artists in watercolour, Chinese ink and oil. Yahong's engaging display of vivid art work will tempt the casual buyer as well as the serious collector.
