Artist's Bio

Born in Borneo, Ang-Ray spent time living in Borneo, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and London before coming to live and paint in New York City. 

He draws inspiration from 20th-Century Abstract Expressionists artists such as De Kooning, Francis Bacaon & other artists such as Cezanne, Van Gogh, Soutine, Richard Serra.  His expressive oils reflect a unique and contemporary fusion of Asian  influences with Western techniques.

"Art should be inspired by one's feelings and sensitivity," professes Ang, "which can result in a spiritual bonding between the artist and his audience."
