Synopsis

"See life in new ways—experience the immediacy and spontaneity of everyday reality.

Teo Eng Seng (b. 1938, Singapore) is an artist whose dynamic, seven-decade career is marked by a playful and evolving approach. Teo transforms everyday materials into vibrant works of art, embedding humour and irony into his socially engaged practice. His creations, full of spontaneous and vivid compositions, reflect his tongue-in-cheek takes on personal and broader social events.

Teo’s practice undermines conventional ways of thinking about and making art while staying relevant to local and global issues. By asking “We’re Happy. Are You Happy?” the exhibition invites you to explore Teo’s honest and witty negotiation between self and society."
