On the ninth month and the ninth day,
Up the Dragon Mountain I drank there.
The yellow flowers smiled at me–
The banished person from the court.
I was drunk while the dance started–
I saw the wind blow off my hat.
Oh how I loved the dance!
Even the moon asked me to stay.
九日龍山飲，黃花笑逐臣。
醉看風落帽，舞愛月留人。

ONG CHIA KOON
Is a calligraphy artist based in Kuala Lumpur. Graduating from the Fine Arts Department of the Malaysian Institute of Art in 1996, Chia Koon has been immersed in the worlds of calligraphy and ink painting for more than two decades, constantly striving to create work at the intersection between Chinese calligraphy and contemporary art. Whilst still a student, he was awarded first place at the Malaysian Open Calligraphy Competition in 1995 and 1997. Chia Koon has since exhibited both nationally and regionally, with his work being shown across Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and China. Choice exhibitions include the Busan Calligraphy Biennale (2007 & 2009), a solo at the Mind of Still Tianmei Art Gallery in Tianjin (2010) and the Sokko Gakkai Gallery in Kuala Lumpur (2012). In addition to calligraphy, Chia Koon has worked on pottery design in Yixing and Jingdezhen in China, painting performances, live music and art direction.
