If you enjoyed the works of 103-year-old Chinese ink artist Lim Tze Peng’s solo exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore
Yeo, who has spent more than six decades dedicated to his art, has a different approach to Chinese ink from Lim, but is equally inventive. A student of the late Nanyang artist Georgette Chen, Yeo combines Chinese artistic techniques with contemporary Western aesthetics in this series that celebrates his work with abstract compositions.
He worked in Singapore and Europe, where he attended the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 2012, Yeo was invited to showcase his work at the 2012 China Olympic Fine Arts Exhibition.
The exhibition is organised by Hai Hui Art Gallery.
