작품 상세

Tan Choon Ghee was considered one of the most established Malaysian artist. He obtained his training in art from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore in 1951, before continuing to his studies at the Slade School of Art in the United Kingdom in 1958, where he was awarded scholarships from the West Germany Government and Australian Broadcasting Commission. Tan was noted for his excellent blend of the British watercolour technique and the Chinese classical paintings’ calligraphic brushstrokes as can be viewed in this Seascape piece. As a result of this, the art pieces created by him are often sought-after and copied by many.
