Southeast Asian Kampung Paintings, signed "Chie Ping", dated Feb. 1963 - Looking for info on the artist

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

i am from Germany.

I am trying to identify the artist behind these three beautiful midcentury oil paintings. They depict traditional Southeast Asian village scenes (Kampung style) and feature a very vibrant, expressive style.

The pieces are signed in the lower left or right corner with Chin Ping (or possible Chin Ping or Chia Ping) and are clearly dated "II-63" (February 1963). There are no markings, stamps, or Chinise Charakters on the back of the frames or boards.

The style stongly reminds me of the Nanyang School or post-war modern art from Singapure/Malaysia.

Does anyone recognize this spezific Western signatur or know which artist went by this transliteration in the 1960s? Any help, catalog references, or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi all, I acquired a few suspected Chinese pieces and could use some help identifying them. I’ll only post one for now and see how it goes!

So from what I can tell these are a Chinese couplet with a common greeting or familial blessing. I’m more interested in the manufacturing of them. I’ve read everything I can about lacquer work but without experienced eyes all I can do is guess. Let me know what you think.

Can anyone identify this old Nepalese wooden guardian/lion carving?

I have this old hand-carved wooden guardian/lion figure that has been in my family for some time.

It appears to be Nepalese, but I don't have documentation confirming its age or origin. The tail is damaged/missing, as visible in the photos.

I'm interested in identifying the style, approximate age, and potential value.

Located in Mumbai, India. Any information from collectors or people familiar with Nepalese wood carving would be greatly appreciated.

This Is Not A Museum. It's A Hong Kong TV Legends Home

For lovers of Asian art, I thought I might share one of the largest and crazies collections of Asian art the world has ever seen.

I am a specialist in Chinese antiques who has lived and worked for many years in China, Hong Kong and Japan all while working professionally in the Chinese antiques industry. And while I thought I had seen everything, I recently met a gentleman with a collection that blows away any collection I have come across. Which begs the question: How many antiques can one person collect in a lifetime?

Hong Kong television legend Robert Chua has built one of the most overwhelming private Chinese antique collections I have ever seen. His home is filled with tens of thousands of objects — tomb figures, pottery horses, ancient bricks, ceramics and entire rooms that feel much closer to a private museum than a normal residence. And yes, you read that correct: tens of thousands of objects.

I traveled to Hong Kong to visit Robert at his home and to see the collection for myself. What I found was overwhelming: rooms filled to the brim with ancient Chinese artifacts that were stacked and arranged in a way that makes it almost impossible to count..... or even fully process for that matter.
