Oh Chai Hoo

^ Click on the image to view the full Artist Profile.

Oh Chai Hoo (b. 1960, Singapore) is a multidisciplinary artist known for working across painting, ceramics, calligraphy, and seal carving. Since graduating from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1982, he has remained an active figure in Singapore’s art scene. His artistic practice reflects a strong foundation in traditional ink techniques while exploring contemporary visual language. As a result, his works often combine craftsmanship with experimentation.

Over the years, his artworks have been exhibited in Singapore and internationally. Moreover, his works are held in both private and institutional collections, including the National Museum of Singapore and Istana.
