Arty-Fact: Born in Malaysia in 1957, Yeo moved to Singapore when he was 14 years old to study art. Yeo has developed his own unique style which sets him apart from other artists of his generation.
The tranquil aqua-toned beaches in Yeo’s paintings herald back to a simple childhood in Malaysia. The bareness of the supple female bodies allows them to ease inconspicuously into the natural surroundings, flanked by large palm trees and carved wooden bannisters. Working with tropical hues of orange and gold, Yeo highlights every graceful curve and crevice, showcasing his understanding of his environment and the female body. The serene scenes draw onlookers onto the shaded beach fronts of the tropical island, stirring a longing in them to shed their inhibitions and shake off the restraints of the chaotic city life to get back in touch with nature.
