SHIA YIH YIING (b.1966 Malaysia)
Shia Yih Yiing was born in Kuching, Sarawak and received a Diploma in Fine Art from KL's Malaysian Institute of Art.
Her works address and investigate issues of cultural identity, heritage and globablisation, along with relationships between perceptions and realities. Her technique is detailed and meticulous and she gives careful thought to the symbols and colours that she applies.
Shia has participated in a number of art programs including the 1994 'Asean Visual Art Education Symposium & Workshop', Mandalayong, Philippines and the 1999 'Commonwealth Fellowship in Arts & Crafts', UWS Nepean, NSW Australia.
Since 1989, her works have also been included in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including, most notably her solo, 'wOm(b)', at Galeri Petronas, Malaysia in 2004. Her works also form part of major local and international collections, including those of the Petronas Gallery, HSBC (Malaysia) and the National Gallery (Malaysia).
