CALLIGRAPHY IN CURSIVE SCRIPT 草书 王建《十五夜望月寄杜郎中》 | HENG WEI CHIA 王怀正 (王平)
Born in Johor, Malaysia, in 1938 and now based in Singapore, Heng Wei Chia serves as the Chairman of The Bishan Chinese Calligraphy Club, a Director of the Shicheng Calligraphy & Seal-Carving Society, and the South East Asia Calligraphers' Association (SEACA). Heng began his calligraphy journey in 1994 after retiring, studying under the renowned late Ho Ngiap Poh. He draws inspiration from the classical works of Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Zhao Mengfu, Mi Fu, and the "Two Wangs" (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi), while his cursive script reflects the influence of Sun Guoting, Wang Duo, and Yu Youren. In 2001, he completed a correspondence course in calligraphy with the China Calligraphy and Painting International University.
Despite starting his artistic pursuit in his 50s, Heng’s dedication and prolific output have earned him widespread recognition. Since 2000, his works have been showcased in numerous local and international exhibitions, including in Singapore, Malaysia, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, and Brunei, and have been collected by institutions, private collectors, and exhibition organisers. In 2010, he received the Merit Award at the Dr. Tan Tsze Chor Art Award Competition for Chinese calligraphy. Heng held his first solo exhibition in 2014, accompanied by a catalogue of his works, and in 2019, he launched his book “Thousand Words Cursive Calligraphy” at the National Library Board Singapore.
