• PARTICIPATING ARTIST

Terence Teo Chin Keong

Terence Teo Chin Keong graduated in Graphic Design from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1980 and is currently a full-time artist in Singapore. His training in graphic arts and photography helps a perfect balance to his traditional Chinese landscape painting. He challenges the techniques of Chinese ink painting through the interplay of the elements of traditional Chinese and modern art. Through his works, Teo attempts to bring across the play of luminosity and reflection using techniques that he has developed over the years. The Rainforest Series shows off Teo’s confident layering technique and his ability to push boundaries of traditional landscape painting. Romance of Shangri-La, among other series produced on Teo’s frequent travels represents his constant endeavours to present the beauty of his experiences as paintings. Flow of Nature, the latest series of works is a culmination of the development of his artistic techniques and philosophy thus far. Teo’s paintings evoke a sense of movement and dynamism in the environment we encounter.
