    Cheong Soo Pieng is a painter who was born in Xiamen and trained in the Xiamen Academy and the Xinhua Academy, Shanghai. In 1946 he settled in Singapore. He travelled widely and taught in the Nanyang Academy of Art in Singapore. Most of his work is landscapes and figure subjects, although in his later years he worked also in batik and metal. He was the most talented of the Singapore artists of his generation.
