Working and living in Singapore, 62 year old local artist Tung Yue Nang paints beautiful scenes of iconic places in Singapore with the ink medium on rice paper.
“Story” depicts a scene of Singapore Chinatown. With the application of various shades of the ink medium, Tung Yue Nang forged a serene and calming ambience of his Chinatown which contrasts with the bustling state commonly associated with the location.
