Who is Ong Schan Tchow?
Ong Schan Tchow alias Yung Len Kwui was born in Longyan, a prefecture of Fujian Province, China. He was well known for Chinese Ink wash painting and colour paintings of flowers, landscapes, animals, people, still life and Calligraphy. He was regarded as one of the first few batches of Chinese scholars and artists to study in Paris and one of the few artists who integrated both traditional Chinese and Western art techniques. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, he became renowned as a patriot artist when he exhibited extensively in China, Hong Kong and later in South East Asia to raise funds solely for the war relief effort and for the countless Chinese civilian victims in China, Malaysia and Singapore.
