Yong Mun Sen was born in 1896 and died in 1962.  After witnessing a Japanese artist painting in his family’s coconut and pepper plantation, Yong Mun Sen (born Yong Yen Lang) became inspired to become a painter.  He changed his name to Yong Mun Sen in 1922, two years after settling in Penang.

He had established a photography studio named Tai Woon / Wei Guan Art Studio in 1922 and renamed it Mun Sen studio in 1930 which then became a favorite meeting place for fellow artist-friends namely Tay Hooi Keat, KuoJu Ping, Khaw Sia, Lee Cheng Yong, Abdullah Ariff and other pioneering Malaysian artists.  He co-founded the Penang Chinese Art Club in 1935 and was elected vice president.  He initiated the formation of Singapore Chinese Art Club the same year.

Posthumous memorial exhibitions were honored to him in Singapore (1966), Galeri 11, Kuala Lumpur (1966), the National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (1972) and the Penang State Art Gallery (PSAG, 1972).
