Artist: Koeh Sia Yong (b. 1938)

As part of the pioneering clan of the second generation artists in Singapore, Mr Koeh Sia Yong continues to play an influential role in the shaping of Singapore art. Mr Koeh graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1958, majoring in Western Painting and his artistic career has spanned over 50 years. Apart from being an independent artist, Mr Koeh also assumed other roles as an art editor working for children’s Art Magazine in the 70s, and as a graphic designer and political cartoonist for Nanyang Business Newspaper in the 80s. Mr Koeh has also successfully held many solo exhibitions and his works are sought after by many collectors, including MNCs, banks, Singapore Art Museum, National Museum of Singapore, Gakkai Malaysia Art Museum, Fukuoka Art Museum Japan, universities and art connoisseurs in the region.

Inspired by the rich culture scenes of Southeast Asia and its people, notably in Bali and Singapore, Mr Koeh’s rosy portrayal of the local sights and human figures exhibits his affection for the places he visits and the people he meets.  Mr Koeh’s unique and excellent painting techniques create an intimate blend of light and colour, and he excels at capturing the ambiance of his subjects with his realistic and expressive approaches.
