Dr. Foo Yong Kong’s artworks exhibit strong life force, freedom and an indomitable spirit. He stresses on the saturation of colours and deftness within the brush strokes. His artistic practice is a conflation of Chinese calligraphy and western abstract expressionism. Luxuriant overlapping colours and textures are interwoven through meandering brushstrokes, forming a unified and expressive composition. Dr. Foo Yong Kong graduated from the Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA) in 1970, and received the doctorate of Art Philosophy from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico in 2003. He had acquired multiple awards while studying in the MIA, including the Grand Prize of All Malaysian Artists' Exhibition. Dr Foo is currently the President of the Malaysia Contemporary Paintings and Calligraphy Association; the Vice Chairman of the International Calligraphy Artists Association; the Visiting Professor of Nanjing Art Institute; the Visiting Professor of the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics’ Art Research Institute, and the Associate Dean of Jiangsu Contemporary Calligraphy Research Institute.
