Thomas Yeo

Singaporean artist Thomas Yeo's works have been described as "highly imaginative landscapes of the unconscious mind". In his paintings, Yeo often employs a variety of painting mediums such as gouache, oils and acrylics. His early works depicts quiet surrealist environments with wispy trees and misty moutains, with the occasional hint of rural houses. Later, he developed bolder abstractions of colour and textures. Although Yeo is known more for his abstract paintings, he produced some figurative works as well in recent years.

As an acclaimed artist, Yeo received the UOB Painting of the Year award and the Cultural Medallion in 1984. He also served as chairman of the Shell Discovery Art Awards and president of the Modern Art Society, Singapore.
