Choy Weng Yang was born in 1936, Singapore. He is a prominent artist, curator, art writer and educator. As one of Singapore’s second-generation artists, Choy’s works are known for the abstract elements as well as a focus on colours. His interest in the subject has been ongoing ever since his early works in the 1960s.

Choy’s early works consist of arrangements of colours, showcasing a unique visual impact through the bands of hues that he believes each holds their own quality. There were several distinct stages of his works, including impressionism, abstraction, colour interaction and abstract impressionism. Choy takes inspiration from famed artists such as Monet, Cezanne, Mondrian and Albers, all of which can be seen through his evolving range of works.

He was part of the pioneering team at the National Museum Art Gallery in the 1970s, first as Head of Exhibition and Design and later as Curator of Art. He has contributed immensely to the arts scene in SIngapore through his practice as an artist, writings and publicationson art, as well as curating various exhibitions.

蔡荣恩出生与新加坡1939年，是各著名的画家，策展人、艺术作家和教育者。他的作品以抽象元素和色彩为主，而这个兴趣从他的早期作1960年代的品就能看出。

蔡荣恩的早期作品大多由颜色的排列组成，通过缤纷的色彩携带者一种独特的视觉冲击。他的作品能被分列成不同的阶段，例如印象派，抽象派，色彩互动派和抽象印象派。他的灵感来源至莫奈，塞尚, 蒙德里安和亚伯斯等著名艺术家。

身为1970年新加坡国家美术馆的创始队的成员之一，蔡荣恩当任了展览设计对的领导后成为了策展人。他通过自己的画，写作和策展经验对新加坡艺术市场的贡献是无可厚非的。
