Ang Ah Tee studied at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1960-1962, under the tutelage of pioneer Singapore artists Cheong Soo Pieng and Georgette Chen. His artistic development is a product of various exploits in different mediums including watercolour and oil. In 1978, Ang Ah Tee made a switch to using acrylic, which allows him to express both the transparency of watercolour and the texture of oil. Ang’s style of painting is characterised by his use of brush strokes applied with forceful palette knife technique. Ang enjoys traveling in search of inspirations and looking for new subjects to paint. His semi-abstraction expression style combines western elements with Chinese ink strokes.
