THOMAS YEO : Landscape
Est: RM2,000 - RM6,000
Through his travels, Thomas Yeo has experienced the ever-changing and urbanisation of Singapore. Although he mentioned that everybody in Singapore is familiar with construction and digging works in the city and despite it being a detriment, it actually inspired him to create works of art. He captures eloquently a landscape lush with greenery, trees and hills using the colours of fall. It brings about a feeling of serenity and of escapism, as the artist paints the perfect, calming place to set your eyes on. Born in 1936 in Singapore, Yeo graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1960 and then studied at the Chelsea School of Art and Hammersmith College of Art & Architecture in London. He served as the chairman of the Shell Discovery Art Awards and the president of the Modern Art Society, Singapore.

Est: RM3,000 - RM5,500
“It’s easy to say I want to be an artist because I love art. But this love alone is not enough. There are three things you must do to be an artist: You must have a dream - dream every day and night that you want to be an artist and of why you want to be an artist; you must have passion - all the time wherever you go, you are constantly thinking “I must draw this. I must create that”; and you must suppress your other interests and have discipline. The priority is always art and nothing else.” - Thomas Yeo A prolific painter, Yeo works with a variety of media namely gouache, oil and acrylic. His early works show quiet surrealist natural environments - “mindscapes” as they were sometimes called - with wispy images of trees, in which occasionally nestle slight hints of rural houses. Later he developed bolder abstractions of colour and textures. Described as “first and foremost a colourist” by fellow artist and critic Chia Wai Hon, Yeo’s paintings place colour as their topmost priority, with their subjects being of secondary importance. Yeo’s work in the Eighties prompted Chia to describe his output as “highly imaginative landscapes of the subconscious mind”. Thomas Yeo was enrolled in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts from 1958 to 1960 and studied under pioneer painters such as Georgette Chen and Cheong Soo Pieng. From 1960 to 1964, he trained at the Chelsea School of Art and the Hammersmith College of Art & Architecture in London where he held his first overseas solo show at the Cathay Gallery in 1963. He returned to Singapore in 1967 hoping to find greater support for his work. From 1973 to 1977, he held solo exhibitions in Singapore and Australia. In 1983, he won second prize in the UOB Painting Of The Year competition in Singapore which recognises top talent in the region. In 1984, he received the Cultural Medallion from the National Arts Council, Singapore, an honour recognising individual artistic contributions to the country’s arts and cultural landscape.

(40 1/8 x 50 1/4 in.) 姚照宏風景油彩畫布 PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF ROSALIND RATNAMProvenance:Acquired directly from the artistArt in Post-War Singapore: A Dialogue with History and the PresentThe second generation of Singapore artists have distinguished themselves from their predecessors by pushing the creative boundaries of the established Nanyang style while retaining its essence through the employment of non-conventional materials and mediums in their works. Born in the 1930s and 40s, these artists came into their prime in the 1960s and 70s, working against a backdrop of turbulent times of political and social changes. The zeitgeist of the post-war era challenged these artists to break away from the conventional to find new ways in representing Nanyang style, and to forge new aesthetics that represent the country's social and cultural identity. These artists' resilience and zeal propelled them to venture into lesser used mediums such as batik, aluminium and woodcuts, to capture and express the conditions of their time. Multiple lots by some of the most well-established second-generation artists are presented at Bonhams this season to represent the diversity of artistic practices that were present in Singapore in the post-war era. Batik and woodcut were used as a new field of art to figuratively portray romantic scenes and colours of the Nanyang landscape and way of life by See Cheen Tee (1928-1996), Chieu Shuey Fook (b. 1934), Seah Kim Joo (b. 1939), and Tay Chee Toh (b. 1941). Aluminium, on the other hand, was employed by Vincent Hoisington in his metal relief work, to mould a new visual language to echo the nation's industrialisation and urban development. Abstraction as a visual style was adopted by Vincent Hoisington (1924-1972), Tay Bak Koi (b. 1939) and Thomas Yeo (b. 1936), as these artists departed from the figurative narrative to convey the mood and atmosphere of the time. The Nanyang Style cultivated by the first-generation artists was both encompassed and resisted by these second-generation artists. The collective efforts of these artists to explore and innovate in the post-war era hence further the historical dialogue of the Singaporean artistic identity that they were grappling with.
