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.
