Seemingly simple, the classic nude is the artist’s foundation, testing the artist’s observation skills just as much as his skills with the brush. Here, Yeo Eng Hin splendidly displays both skills, rendering both model and backdrop with the utmost care and detail, leaving nothing to chance. Trained in Singapore and France, Yeo Eng Hin is an active presence in art education, having been the principal of Art Specialist Centre, Klang, Selangor since 1986, and the principal of Masean Art Academy in Kajang since 1998. Having been President of Nanyang Academy of Fine Art (NAFA) Malaysian Alumni Association, Yeo is also active in NAFA’s various exhibitions, including 2013 Nanyang Academy of Fine Art 75th Anniversary Art Exhibition, and 2014 Reflections In Nanyang: Recent Works By Alumni Artists.
