Thomas Yeo works have been once described as ‘highly imaginative landscapes of the unconscious mind’. The present composition shows an abstract river landscape, which is dominated by a red color scheme that determines the major part of the shore and the sky. The red contrasts with the harmonious blue of the river. Delicate trees provide for white accents and the creation of depth. Yeo’s landscapes were influenced through his art studies, both in Asia and in Europe, as reflected in his works by a mixture of a traditional Asian image conception and influences of the European abstract painting.

The painting is signed lower left with ‘TYeo’, being in good condition with light wear. The overall dimensions are 77 x 95 cm, and the board measures 61 x 78.5 cm.
