Singaporean artists I 'know'

I’ve met a Teo Eng Seng (Mister) recently - yesterday afternoon - and when he asked me, “how many Singaporean artists do you know”, with ‘Singaporean’ defined as ‘working in Singapore’, I realised I was stumped for an answer beyond a handful of names (not much more than a couple of them); more names came to me after the moment of interrogation had passed. Well, for the benefit of whoever’s interested, I make a table below, in response to Mr. Teo Eng Seng’s question.

Artist Website Have I met that artist in person?
Cheong Soo Pieng don't know He was dead, reportedly, by the time I heard of him. So, no, I haven't.

Amanda Heng idk A handful of years ago, at NUS Museum, where she was present at the venue of her artwork, during which strangers had tea, dismembered trimmed bean-sprouts and chatted.
