Biography of
Artist, Yeo Shih Yun
Shih
Yun's fascination for the abstract medium surfaced during her time
at Lasalle, when she first experimented with the fusion of fine
arts and contemporary design. One of her early experimental works
received acclaim as a highly commended entry for the UOB Painting
of the Year competition in 1999, which spurred her to further
explore fine arts and the abstract form. After graduating from
Lasalle, Shih Yun attended the one-year Post Baccalaureate Program
(Painting) at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Shih
Yun has collaborated with artists from America and UK for the past
three years and has held numerous exhibitions in Singapore and
Australia. Some of her recent exhibitions include “exit” in
Melbourne, Australia and “NewFinds 2003" at MITA ARTrium. In
addition, she was awarded the Emerging Artist Grant from the
National Arts Council to hold her first solo exhibition titled,
“log:one03” at Block 43 Studio Gallery in 2003.
