Artist: Victor Ang

VICTOR ANG – Singapore

“My life is a continuing journey of trials and lessons, ever unfolding onto my paintings…”

Born 12th October 1967

In the 80s, Victor Ang studied Chinese floral brush painting, calligraphy and seal carving under renowned artists, Master Liu Ming Chew, Master Wong Yi and Master Chen Wen Hsi. His mentors saw the potential in him and urged him to participate in local and international exhibitions where he was awarded much recognition in the International Chinese Seal Carving arena in Korea.

In the 90s, Victor broke away from tradition and experimented with a unique ‘glass ink tube’ technique for Chinese calligraphy. The refinement of this process was reflected in his paintings of many famous temples in Thanjavur, India.

The new millennium moved Victor into yet another new calligraphy medium – ‘crushed paper writing’ of different textures. This ‘paper-writes-on-paper’ innovation continues to impress many art lovers.
For more than 10 years, his paintings and artworks were only put up for sale or auction for charitable purposes.

Recent Award:

“Indeed, art does run in his blood and soul.”
