paint Majestic Universe, Magnificent Cosmos and images with vitality and
dynamics.

environmental awareness. He uses modern skills, combines with vivid colors to
establish a stile of his own that conveys this environmental message. In his
quest to explore the mysteries of this planet, he adventured through volcano
craters, inspired through cinders and gases. Immersed himself in nature, of
ocean waves and stream flows, of rocks and mountains, sands and stones, of
boundless sky and flash of comet, which gives rise to his infinite creation of
Artworks with power, emotion and philosophy.

Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore in 1972. In the attempt to achieve a
higher level of attainment in Fine Arts, he made a study tour of Europe in 1982.

different media from acrylic to oil based to mixed media in his work. He has
devoted his life to art this far, and this passion, will never cease.

Intuition - 3 Stories
Elle Six Art Gallery presents
works by Tew Nai Tong, Wong Miau Yong
and Pheh It Hao in a group
exhibition entitled "Intuition - 3 Stories" which runs from 14th October till
28th October 2004.
A storyteller relates stories of folklores within a society, whereas an artist
expresses his stories thru art. An artist sees beyond his surroundings, outer
appearances and seeks fascinating stories within individuals and the
environment. We all have stories to tell and at times we focus too much trying
to express ourselves with words. Hence, we forget that our movement, postures
and expressions are telling their own stories. Paintings are non-verbal
communication. It speaks of society's movements and expressions. Three artists
from different generations; but with the same non-conformist attitude towards
art, set about capturing the essence and emotions based on their instincts for
viewers.
