JUDGE’S PROFILE
Edwin Cheong (b. 1973, Singapore) began his career as an architect after receiving his Master of Architecture from the National University of Singapore in 2000. His relentless interest in 3-dimensional visual arts expanded his artistic explorations to fields of furniture, sculptures, kinetics and artistic lighting implementation on built environments.


Along with his art practice, Edwin has served as Guest-Judge for local TV station MediaCorp’s art competitions and has contributed numerous articles on Environmental Art to popular local press, Lianhe Zaobao. He serves/served as a design and art educator in Singapore’s art institutions such as the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and the former LaSalle-SIA College of Arts. In February 2010, among other art and design awards he had already won, his work entitled “Breathe” was commissioned to commemorate Singapore’s hosting of the first ever Youth Olympic Games (YOG). A collaboration between the Urban Redevelopment Authority, City Developments Limited and Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee, it is the first few public art sculptures to be showcased under the new Marina Bay Public Art Programme. The 33ft tall iconic monumental-size kinetic sculptures stands on Singapore’s prime land overlooking the magnificent Marina Bay.
