Tung Yue Nang is a Singaporean artist who subscribes to the Chinese philosophy of Tao Te Ching (Dao de jing; 道德经) (“Classic of the Way of Power”) in his art practice. While initially focused on traditional Chinese paintings, Tung subsequently allows elements of Western art to permeate his style. He has exhibited widely and won a number of awards.
Tung was educated in both English and Chinese.

Tung was a graphic design director before he left the corporate world to become a professional artist. Despite his wealth of experience, Tung continually seeks to improve his skills.

Tung subscribes to the Tao Te Ching philosophy of life, which allows him to reconcile art with life. The Tao way focuses on harmony and tranquillity amidst chaos and disorder. This is reflected in Tung’s art, in which he constantly searches for both harmony and tranquillity.

Even though Tung immerses himself in Chinese art, he is also fascinated with Western modernist art. He has acted on this fascination by combining Western art concepts and media with Chinese art and philosophy in his works.

Subsequently, Tung replaced naturalism with abstract representations in his art. He also began to experiment with acrylic and mixed media paintings.

Tung travels widely to seek inspiration and spiritual nourishment. He often returns from trips with renewed insights and inspiration for his art, which would culminate in a new series of paintings.
He has held many Solo and Group exhibitions in Singapore and abroad. He has also received many distinguished Art Awards.
Owning an art piece by Tung Yue Nang is indeed a treasure to keep.
