About Jolly Koh

Jolly Koh (b.1941) was born in Singapore and raised in Melaka. An artist and art theorist with a special interest in the theory of “colour”, Koh is recognised for his lyrical works that masterfully explore colour and space. He studied painting at the Hornsey College of Art in London from 1960-1962 and later enrolled at the Institute of Education, University of London to undertake a year’s study in art education. Upon returning to Malaysia, he taught at a secondary school in Melaka before joining the newly established School of Art and Architecture at the MARA Institute of Technology (now UiTM) as a lecturer in Art. In 1971, he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the University of Indiana, USA where he was awarded with a doctoral degree in art education in 1976. A respected educationist, he has taught in the USA, Australia and Malaysia. His work is in many public and corporate collections in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and the USA.
