Portrait Donegel' Chong
Donegel' Chong, originally from Malaysia, has been based in Thurgau since 2018. His art career began in 2018, after a serious illness. Since then, Chong's original artworks have already been presented in China, Germany, the UK, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland. His paintings are also in private collections in Spain and Thailand.
Donegel' Chong's artworks are biographical to varying degrees - they deal mainly with his preferences. Chong calls them "personal reflections of life". Donegel' Chong has developed his own unique style of painting, with brushstrokes he calls "Kurrrlys" or "emotional release brushstrokes".
Since 2018, he has continuously used this technique in varying degrees of intensity. Donegel' Chong is inspired by Francis Bacon and Yayoi Kusama, Cy Twombly and Egon Schiele. At Art International Zurich 2021, he will present the continuation of his FEEDING series.

« FEEDING is a series of works inspired by my experiences: Feeding fish in the temples of Thailand, feeding strays in a remote village in Kalasin, Thailand and feeding our feathered friends at Lake Constance.
What are the motivations for feeding? Is it about love, survival, sharing or are there ulterior motives? Does the strongest take it all, or does the weakest fight and then give up or lose?
Depending on the species, we see selfish tendencies to varying degrees. Are there parallels to humans here?
These pictures are made entirely of my favourite brushstrokes, the "Kurrrlys". Depending on your individual life experiences, these paintings will either be an explosion of energy or a restless chaos. »
