Tan Suz Chiang uses abstract forms to capture the fading memory of places that hold a special place in his heart. Over the years, Suz Chiang has developed a spontaneous way of painting. He expresses light, combined with a dynamic palette of vivid colours to achieve an atmospheric effect. He archives his memories, subjects and fleeting moments using his signature brushwork to effectively capture life’s precious memories and experiences. Tan Suz Chiang obtained a Diploma of Fine Arts from the Central Academy of Art, Malaysia, in 1997. He has exhibited regularly in both solo and group exhibitions internationally, winning awards in competitions from the USA, Europe and China. Among his many international awards are First Prize, Northwest Watercolor Society; Bronze Award, Nanjing International Art Festival; First Prize, Lushan International Watercolor Festival, China; Winsor & Newton Award, Royal Watercolor Society; and the Helene H Ross Award and People’s Choice Award, 6th Signature American Watermedia Exhibition. He was also one of 23 finalists in the inaugural World Watercolour Competition, Narbonne, France. His work is in public, corporate and private collections internationally, including Malaysia, Singapore, China, Japan, Poland and the USA.
