Chong Zheng Calligraphy
## About the Host
Wan’s journey with Chinese calligraphy began in 2003 at the Singapore Calligraphy Centre. Over the past 23 years, he has continued to deepen his practice — progressing from Regular Script (楷书) to Semi-Cursive (行书) and Cursive Script (草书), with a particular appreciation for the expressive and flowing qualities of brush and ink.
Since 2019, Wan has also been sharing his practice through teaching. In 2021, he founded Chong Zheng Calligraphy Studio · 崇正草堂, carrying forward a family name and heritage rooted in Chinese learning and culture.
Wan’s calligraphy journey has also taken him into the wider international calligraphy community. He exhibited at the Dainippon Calligraphy Institute Exhibition in Japan for three consecutive years from 2021 to 2023, and at the Canada-China Calligraphy Spring Exhibition from its inaugural exhibition in 2023 through its fourth edition in 2026. He also participated in the Dr. Tan Tsze Chor Art Award in 2023 and 2024, and was invited in 2024 to join the Montreal Chinese Calligraphers Association as an Official Partner.
An organisational psychologist by training, Wan is co-founder of a work-tech startup and was formerly Learning & Development Director at a global FTSE100 company. As a psychologist and coach, he brings an experiential approach to his teaching, helping learners discover their own insights through the practice of Chinese brush writing.
Wan conducts his sessions in English and Mandarin and was trained in brush writing using both the right and left hand. For him, calligraphy is not simply about writing beautiful characters, but about the journey of practice — slowing down, developing sensitivity and discovering something of oneself through brush, ink and paper.
