Ang Ah Tee (b. 1943, Singapore) is a veteran artist known for his acrylic, watercolour and oil paintings. From 1976 to 2006, he managed to complete 2,600 paintings, a remarkable feat for an artist. His most renowned works include "Kashmir" (1994), "Shanghai" (1994) and "First Day of Summer" (1996). He travels extensively to derive inspiration and his paintings are often products of thorough research and intensive thought processes. His landscape paintings are widely sought after by collectors in the region.
 
Education
When Ang realised that formal education could not satisfy his desire to learn more about art, he decided to attend formal school in the morning and art class in the afternoon. From 1960 to 1962, he received his art education at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in Singapore. He always placed greater emphasis on his art education than on his academic schooling. However, despite completing art training in 1962, he did not make art his sole profession until 1977.
