Foo Wenfeng is a Singapore-based artist and educator. Trained in civil and structural engineering before graduating from NAFA, his interdisciplinary background informs a practice rooted in Singapore's urban landscapes and everyday environments. His work examines the often-invisible infrastructures of care that shape relationships between people, place, and environment, to reveal subtle networks that connect lives through ordinary, frequently overlooked acts. Through layered painting and organic materials, his works reflects on transience, memory, and transformation.
​

In his 2018 solo exhibition, Dreams of the Garden City, Wenfeng drew inspiration from the Singapore Botanic Gardens, translating tender observations into scenes of old couples in quiet conversation and children’s laughter echoing through green spaces. These works reflect an enduring fascination with human connection and the emotional resonance of place—an intimate portrayal of Singapore’s evolving yet deeply rooted identity.

​

Birdsong Rhapsody (2021) marked a natural evolution in his practice, extending his gaze to the fauna of Singapore. Through vivid depictions of local birdlife, he presented a vibrant microcosm of the nation's biodiversity, further enriching his exploration of memory, nature, and belonging.

​

His work, The Taste of Belonging (2026) was also shortlisted for 2026 UOB Painting of the Year compeitition.​

Working predominantly in oil, acrylic, and mixed media, Wenfeng’s expressive brushwork and textured surfaces invite the viewer into a sensory dialogue. His paintings do not merely depict scenes—they communicate through feeling, offering a visual language that resonates beyond words, touching something elemental within the soul.

 

In addition to his solo exhibitions, Wenfeng actively contributes to group shows, art fairs, cross disciplinary collaboration, cementing his presence in the contemporary Singapore art scene.
