Tim Teh Ming Yang
Tim Teh aka Teh Ming Yang is a self taught artist from Penang. He was in the corporate and was in the paint industry dealing with protective and heavy duty coatings for the marine and oil and gas sector. Although a late starter, he was somehow destined to be an full time artist as colours have always been close to his heart throughout his career in the paint industry.
His passion for art has always been submerged till it’s awakening subconciously by the exploration of charcoal ,pencil and brush strokes .Painting water color in school spurred the fascination of this medium but the curiousity of acrylics had him involved for a couple of years and a switch of late to oil because of the richness of pigments for his creativity.Experimenting with batik canting has also captivated his interest too.
His work was exhibited locally at theThe Art Gallery, Penang State Art Gallery,Penang State Legislative Hall and also abroad in countries like China, Italy,Norway….etc
He was mentored by art maestro Dato Tay Mo-Leong during his initial art journey and was encouraged to forge ahead absorbing minute advices and turning them to reality in the canvases and jute.
Being an avid fishing enthusiast projected a source of inspiration towards seascape.It helped him understand the pristine beauty of it as living in Penang Island itself is surrounded by the sea. The lesser encounter of beautiful sea creatures underwater and above water like mangroves, sea turtles ,dugongs etc will be disasterous for the coming future . Creating awareness that these would be extinct and future generation devastated at their loss if mankind’s pollution and oil disasters persist.
