Victor Ang 洪礼信(阿信)

In the 1980s, Victor Ang 阿信 received training in bird and flower painting, calligraphy writing as well as seal carving from different masters such as Liu Ming Chew, Wong Yi and Chen Wen Hsi. With a strong foundation in classical forms of Chinese ink painting and writing, Victor Ang has since developed unique ways of presenting the ink medium.

In 2024, Victor Ang was conferred the role of visiting professor at the Japan International Art Research Institute, Tokyo.

放下· Letting Go by Victor Ang, 90×90cm

来时无迹无踪,一来一去事一同。何须更问浮生事,只缘浮生梦幻中。

We arrive without a trace, and in the end, we depart just as we came. Why dwell on the mysteries of life, when life itself is but a dream?

东风 · East Wind by Victor Ang, 90x45cm

东风,是带来新气息的风,也象征着希望与新的开始。它吹过熟悉的土地,也吹向未知的远方,象征着在变化中前行,在记忆中生长。

The East Wind carries a breath of renewal and hope. Moving across familiar ground towards distant horizons, it speaks of growing through change while remaining rooted in memory.

乐了 · Joy by Victor Ang, 90x45cm

乐了,是一种简单而真切的快乐。也许只是生活中一个轻松的瞬间、一声笑、一次相聚,便足以让心里亮起来——快乐,其实就藏在平凡的日子里。

“乐了” captures a simple, genuine sense of joy. Sometimes, all it takes is a lighthearted moment, a shared laugh, or being together to brighten the heart — joy often lives in the ordinary moments of life.

半醉 · Half-Drunk by Victor Ang, 90x45cm

半醉,不在于醉意,而在于一种恰到好处的松弛。放下片刻的忙碌与烦忧,让自己沉浸在当下,半醒半醉之间,享受生活最自在的时刻。

“Half-Drunk” is less about intoxication but more of a state of gentle release,lingering between wakefulness and dreams, simply enjoying the freedom of being present.

自在 · At Ease by Victor Ang, 90x45cm

自在,是一种不被外界左右的从容。忙碌之中,也能留一份空间给自己,随心而行,安然自得。心若自在,处处皆是风景。

“自在” is the quiet freedom of being comfortable with oneself. Even amid life’s busyness, there is always room to pause, breathe, and simply be. When the heart is at ease, every moment becomes a view worth savouring.

舍得 · Letting Go by Victor Ang, 90x45cm

舍得,是懂得取舍的智慧。人生有得有失,愿意放下不必要的执着,才能为真正重要的事留出空间。有舍,才有得;懂得放下,也是一种自在。

“舍得” is the wisdom of knowing what to hold on to and what to let go. By releasing what no longer matters, we make space for what truly does. Sometimes, letting go is how we make room for more.

随缘 · Letting Things Flow by Victor Ang, 90x45cm

随缘,不是随波逐流,而是懂得顺其自然。尽力而为,也接受无法强求的结果,不执着于得失,心自然多一份从容。

“随缘” is not about drifting through life, but about allowing things to unfold naturally. We do what we can, accept what we cannot control, and find peace in letting life take its own course.
