Signed, limited edition etching, #35/100

Date: 1992

Eng Tay was born and raised in Kedah, Malaysia. In 1968 he moved to New York City to study at The Art Students League, followed by graduation from The School Of Visual Arts in 1972 as a graphic designer. He worked in the graphic arts field until 1978, when he undertook several painting trips though out South America and Indonesia until 1980.

These trips formed a basis for the types of scenes and moments that became his subject matter - images of people playing music, family moments and interactions, market scenes and daily rituals. He began to exhibit steadily and continued to gain international recognition as his work was shown in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, his native Malaysia and his adopted home of New York, as well as extensively across the United States.

Eng Tay works in several media - limited edition etchings, painting and sculpture. Most of his work has found its greatest expression when addressing the concept of family - the poetry of the family, of man and woman, of children, of friendship, of music and of the natural world.
