This study examines Modern Ink Paintings (MIP) in post-independence Malaysia and demonstrates how Cultural Identity (CI) emerges to express the Chinese ethnic artists’ position within the Chinese diasporic community within a multicultural context. Integrating traditional Chinese ink techniques with local cultural elements and Western Modern Art (WMA) approaches, the notion of hybridity refers more to issues of CI created based on shared cultural values and historical experiences of the Chinese community, serving as an essential experience in the nation-building process of post-colonial Malaysian society. This paper aims to examine modern ink painting in order to demonstrate its significant contribution to the art world of Malaysia. The artists’ considerations reflect broader issues of home and belonging and the revival of “Chineseness” within post-colonial Malaysian society for the Chinese diasporic community living in Malaysia. The research underscores art’s role in nation-building and positions modern ink painting as a testament to the evolving Chinese CI globally.
