Tom Ang

”My art is joy co-creating with life.”My photography celebrates the unwanted. It recognises the overlooked. It points to the ignored.For me, a miraculous co-creation between life force, energy and spirit gives birth to art.

Tom Ang is a versatile Artist-Photographer-Author who draws inspiration from minimalism and abstract expression in his digital illustrations. Ang's expertise shines in photography, capturing light and detailed nuances that reveal the usually unseen beauty in the everyday. His asemic artwork adds a unique dimension to his portfolio, inviting viewers to decipher the language of form and emotion. With a BA in Philosophy and an illustrious teaching career, Ang's artistry seamlessly blends visual storytelling with a profound exploration of co-creativity. He received the global Hamdan International Photography Award as Content Producer in 2019.He says:"The confluences of art and philosophy, life and technology have always fascinated me.I've written two collections of poems and I've worked as a technical journalist and authored 40 books on photography. From dark-room assistant to photographer, through technical editorships and running a newspaper picture desk, I reached academia and lectured on photography, journalism and publishing for over 12 years.Never one to be afraid of new technology, I was a pioneer in digital photography, hosting two of the first ever TV series on digital photography for BBC. I was a bit slow to take up NFTs but now I'm well into making NFTs using generative imaging, also using AI to complement my own art practice that majors on asemic calligraphy.It's the most wonderful time to be an artist; and it's a time most in need of artists."
