T.K Sabapathy
Art historian and curator“While Eng Seng turned his back on painting in oil, he was not abandoning painting as a practice; nor was he rejecting the appeal of pictures as such. He was interested in cultivating novel ways of advancing a differentiated painting practice. Paperdyesculp was developed to break new ground for making and seeing visual representations.” -
Seng Yu Jin
Curator, National Museum Singapore“Teo’s unwavering commitment to stretching himself … is remarkable and necessary. His ambition and determination to push the limits of art-making is exemplary of how humanity can nurture humanity to exceed ourselves artistically and culturally.” -
Constance Sheares
Curator"Teo's method of using paper was uniquely his own. His compositions seldom depicted recognisable objects, even though their original inspiration was derived from natural forms. Through this process, he often arrived at vivid compositions of riotous colour and unexpected shapes. The impact of these paintings lay in their seemingly haphazard arrangement."
