Dr. Foo Yong Kong’s artworks exhibit a strong life force, freedom, and an indomitable spirit. An exuberant blend of warm and cool colours including tranquil blue and orange tints was devised to highlight the light in the sky, and the movement of clouds. His artistic practice is a conflation of Chinese calligraphy techniques and western abstract expressionism. 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.
