Ng Bee's vivid composition is made up of abstract shapes appearing on the canvas, assembled in a colourful backdrop. The organic shapes are arranged in a harmonious visual pattern, evoking a gentle breeze in the air, and the swaying motion of leaves against a landscape of billowing clouds.
Ng Bee is better known as Mr. Sasaran for the Sasaran International Art Festival that he founded in 2008 with 35 artists from nine countries taking part. Believing in the mantra, 'Art Belongs to Everyone', he has put Sasaran, a sleepy fishing village in Selangor on the world map, but its unique quality is that it has the support of the whole village – fishermen, farmers, traders, schools… It now boasts of its own museum and a sculpture park besides murals and artworks all over town. Ng Bee's early education was in the Pik Hwa School in Klang, known for producing artists. Good in art but not in studies, he enrolled at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore, graduating in 1976. He pursued further education at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris, graduating after five years in 1979. Since his first solo at the New Straits Times' Balai Berita called 'Intensity, Emotion and Enigma' in 2001, he has had several other solos including one at the Blue Space Art Centre in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2006.
