Dr Chew Teng Beng is probably the most qualified artist in the country with a Ph.D.in Fine Arts from New York University. In addition to teaching art, he is also involved in research in papermaking and the aesthetics of paper art. He pioneered several new techniques (including painting on wrinkled paper) which are admired and copied by other artists.
