Wee Shoo Leong (黄树龙) (b. 1958, Singapore) is a Singaporean oil painter renowned for his still life works depicting everyday objects—birdcages, jars, vases, flowers, and fruits—set against minimalist backgrounds. Through this restrained visual language, Wee reveals a quiet sense of simplicity and harmony, later extending into semi-abstract landscape paintings. A graduate of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (1979), Wee gained early recognition after winning the UOB Painting of the Year in 1984. His works are held in major public and corporate collections, including the National Gallery Singapore, Singapore Art Museum, and The Istana.
