Introducing Jayson Yeoh, a highly acclaimed watercolor artist who has gained recognition for his exceptional talent and masterful techniques. Despite being a self-taught artist, Jayson's artworks have been selected for exhibitions in both local and international shows, winning several awards in prestigious watercolor competitions. Jayson's works are a blend of realism and impressionism, where he beautifully captures the essence of nature and the world around us. He has a keen eye for detail and a unique ability to evoke emotion through his art, making his paintings truly exceptional. With a passion for travel and a deep appreciation for beauty, Jayson incorporates his experiences into his artwork. He combines elements of Eastern and Western art, particularly in his use of water, to create a unique style that is both captivating and awe-inspiring. As for myself, I am a professional artist who specializes in abstract and semi-abstract art. I draw inspiration from my surroundings and personal experiences, creating art that is a reflection of my inner thoughts and emotions. With years of teaching and experimenting, I have developed a distinct style that is both bold and expressive.
Description: In between the element of ‘visible’ and ‘hidden’, they can create not only a sense of distance but yet close, clear and lucid but yet indistinct, in addition to the multiple layers that co-exists truly inspired me to create these series. I am very fond of these types of contents – the uniqueness yet artistic beauty of ‘Faintly Discernible’. The co-existence of various elements exude a very feeling towards me to start this creative series. From the aspect of my creative process, it is undeniably that my creative process is strongly influenced by Chinese painting, especially in terms of composition, design and the utilisation of water and colours. In composing my pieces, I made a strong emphasis on spacing especially on leaving white areas. I feel that through the integration of aesthetic psychology and artistic principles of ‘leaving white spaces’ could easily attract the attention and eyes of my fellow audience, thus elevating their senses of appreciation towards my works. In fact, from the concept of ‘white is not emptiness’, the parts which are left empty or blank doesn’t mean they are empty, but yet they hid the unlimited possibilities of imagination. From the looks of emptiness but yet an existing feeling can influence and lead my spectators to enter the realm of reverie and fantasy. This is key tool for me to present my message and story to my observers. Throughout the journey of my creation, I love utilising the elements of duality – hidden and present, leaving blank and fully densed, separation and grouping and other art elements to create my paintings – Faintly Discernible. I also utilise the wet on wet method, colour rendering and dry brush method to enable my works to exude numerous visual effects – from softness yet hard, clear and vibrant but yet blurry, bright but yet dark, static but yet active, realistic but yet abstract looking. Last but not least, I truly hope that my creations can present my unique artistic language to all my raving fans of my works. I hope that they able to resonate with my message and objectives. These have been my driving force of my art journey throughout the years.
