Chua Ek Kay (Chinese: 蔡逸溪; pinyin: Cài Yìxī) (21 November, 1947 – 8 February 2008) was a Singaporean artist hailed as the "bridge between Asian and Western art"[1] with a unique painting style using Chinese ink on paper that demonstrated an ingenious blend of traditional Chinese painting forms with Western art theories and techniques. Most of his works were themed of Chinatown street scenes, lotuses, and abstract works inspired by Australian aboriginal cave paintings.
