Teo Kim-Liong

A computer engineer for almost three decades, Teo Kim-Liong returned to art full-time in 1994. Since then, besides Singapore, he has residenced in China, North American countries, Western, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Baltic, as a fulltime artist, and has held a total of nine solo exhibitions in these countries. He has blended the traditions of the East and the West, and emerged with a style that is distinctively his own. International critics commented that his works are "full of luminosity and feelings".

Teo received his Diploma from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore, in 1956; B.Sc.(Honours) from the University of Singapore in 1961; Research Scholar Certificate from Central Academy of Fine Art, Beijing, in 1995; and MFA (Master of Fine Art) from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, in 1998.
