Ang Ah Tee (born 11 November 1943) is a Singaporean painter. He received the Cultural Medallion in 2009.[1][2]

Education

Ang attended afternoon art class in addition to his formal classes. He studied at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts from 1960 to 1962.[3] His teachers at the academy included artists Georgette Chen and Cheong Soo Pieng, who were both pioneers of the Nanyang Style.[4]

Career

After graduating, he was employed at the Port Authority of Singapore as a clerk. In his spare time, he would paint in watercolour and oil. In 1974, he won the Open Art Competition. He participated in a group exhibition in the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the same year.[4] By 1976, he had painted several prominent landmarks in Singapore. In 1976, he went on a trip to various countries across Asia which would later serve as inspiration for his art.[3] In 1977, he left his job, thereby allowing him to devote more time to painting. In his initial years as an artist, he was supported by Della Butcher.[4]

In 1978, Ang transitioned from using oil and watercolour to using acrylic for his artwork. In the same year, he won the National Day Art Award. In 1981, he went on a trip where he visited various countries across Europe and painted the prominent landmarks there. Besides touring Europe, he also visited Egypt, Nepal, Kashmir, China and Australia. In 2001, he won the first prize at the Dr Tan Tsze Chor Art Awards Competition. In 2009, he received the Cultural Medallion for his contributions to visual arts in Singapore.[3]

Ang exhibited extensively in both Singapore and internationally. He held his first solo exhibition in the Mandarin Hotel in 1980. In recent decades, he was represented by his alma mater, NAFA for an exhibition of 40 works titled Prismatic and Confluence Art Space's Poetry in Motion.
