This manipulated and light-mediated ‘photograph’ of a surreal landscape best represents what Contemporary Photography is all about. Indeed, it’s photography’s ascendancy and dominance in art competitions that UOB (United Overseas Bank, known for the regional art competition under its name), scrapped photographs from the entries in 2013 – mainly because of Yuen and Zhao Ren Hui. Yuen won the UOB Painting of the Year (Singapore) in 2008. This fantasy work comes from his Symbiosis solo exhibition at the Jendela Gallery, Singapore, in August 2009. His innovative approach and concept had also seen him featured in the Nouvelles Vages: File Not Found, at Palais de Tokyo, in Paris. He had a special Singapore show titled, Future Proof, at the Singapore Art Museum at 8Q. The other awards of this ‘hot’ multidisciplinary artist include 3rd Prize in the United States International Photography Awards (2008), the Crowbar Awards Best of Photography (2008), and Merit Prize in the first Ngee Ann Disctinguised Sculpture Awards in 2010. Yuen studied Interactive Media design at the Temasek Polytechnic, and obtained his BFA in Photogrpahy and Digital Imaging from the Nanyang Techological Unviersity, and MFA from the Chelsea College of Art and Design.
