Nessy Pop Art

Artist Chiat Kwan Lau (Ness) started his art journey in his home country of Singapore. With a passion for graphic art, Ness moved to Australia to continue his education in Graphic Arts at a school in the heart of The Rocks district of Sydney. It was here he developed various different styles of pop and bold graphic work. Ness spent many years working as a Graphic Artist in the packaging and advertising industries.
