Wong Moo-Chew was born in 1942 in Selangor, Malaysia. In 1967 he received a scholarship to study at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. He also worked at Atelier Lacouriere in Montmartre, where he met Zao Wou-Ki and Soulase. In 1974 he was appointed professor of graphics at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Decoratifs in Nice. He lives and works in Paris.
Moo Chew Wong made this phrase from Montaigne his own: "I do not paint the being, I paint the passage."
Wong's motif is the journey rather than the object or the subject. Thus, he engraves almost daily the life in the rue des Abbesses that he observes from his window.
His pictorial talent attracted the attention of many museums. He won the gold medal of Epinal, which allowed him to distribute his engravings in more than 35 museums around the world. His works are present in dozens of public collections such as the BNF, the National Library of France, the Library of Congress in Washington DC and in the MAMCO in Geneva.
In 2009, Moo Chew received the insignia of Chevalier des arts et des lettres for his oeuvre.
