Teacher and student pour their hearts into art

Labour of love: Goh adding the finishing touches to his artwork while Lim (foreground) is concentrating on making a paper cutting of a rat for the Chinese New Year.

KLANG: Whenever Chinese New Year comes around it is when Goh Ah Ang gets to show his creativity with brushes and ink as he depicts the zodiac sign of the upcoming year.

Having kept this tradition alive for the past 36 years Goh, this year, has a collaborator in artist Lim Cheng Hock. Together they created jianzhi (Chinese paper cutting art) and presented their best pieces inspired by the mouse.
