About

His life took a dramatic turn following a cervical vertebrae injury during a somersault, which rendered him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Despite this challenge, Tan Kok Leong's artistic expression flourished, his work is characterised by the classical Far Eastern tradition of painting, which can be seen in particular in his preferred subjects of mythological and fantasy scenes, and also in his watercolour studies of flowers and animals. His paintings also reveal the influence of European and American art, with portraits being his favorite subjects and a special fondness for oil painting. He has also studied traditional Chinese painting techniques, discovering his love for Chinese art and effectively incorporating these techniques into his work.
