Andrew Yeo Kian Hwee 杨建威 (Singaporean, b. 1964) is an artist recognised for his contributions to watercolour painting and contemporary representations of Singaporean scenes. He is a member of the Singapore Watercolour Society, based in Telok Kurau Studios in Singapore, reflecting his active engagement in the local watercolour art community.
Yeo’s work often captures urban and heritage subjects of Singapore, particularly iconic views such as the Singapore River and scenes like Coleman Bridge. His paintings emphasise architectural detail and the atmospheric qualities of city life, using watercolour to convey both structure and movement. Several of his works have appeared in public auctions, indicating sustained interest among collectors.
His practice sits within the Asian Modern and Contemporary art context. While detailed published biographical material remains limited, his continued exhibition presence and auction history point to an established practice centred on documenting Singapore’s cultural and built environments through watercolour and related media.
