Teng Jee Hum grew up in Singapore in the 50s and 60s, deeply influenced by the towering figure of Singapore’s first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew.

Coming from a humble background, with his father a seaman who was home barely 2 weeks a year, Teng succeeded in the transformed socio-economic and political environment of Singapore, working in finance and banking, investing and managing others’ wealth.

In his artist statement, Teng said: “Looking back now on the evolving collection, it is a searching for identity, discovering the root influences of how I come to be this way. In doing so, I cannot avoid the Singapore Story, and the one person who has probably done the most for me, and to me.”
