Jamie Teo's paintings embody a sense of tension that lingers between the stillness and phenomenal movement where colours begin to change the longer you look at them. She dances on the canvas, using a broad palate of hues with luscious names such as Cadmium Yellow, Titanium White, Cinnabar Green, Naples Rose and Manganese Violet. She invites viewers to experience a different approach to seeing by meticulously blending colours to both create and investigate their movement and ambiguous outcomes. Areas of unique, impulsive textured brushstrokes are built up from the rigid process of pushing thick accumulated paint back and forth. This juxtaposition from the smooth and flat gradient surface captures fleeting moments where colours merge and break apart from each other within an ever-changing field of stillness, evoking a visual interaction between the viewer and the work, seeing and experiencing an intangible in-between.

Teo graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts Singapore, with a BA (First class honours) in Fine Arts awarded by Goldsmith University of London in 2018. In that same year, Teo won the prestigious UOB Painting of the Year (Silver) award. Teo has also exhibited in multiple group shows in Qatar, Malaysia, Jakarta and Singapore including the inaugural S.E.A. Focus showcase and Art Jakarta in 2019. Her first solo exhibition Shifting Stillness at UOB Art Gallery that year was met with enthusiastic responses and in 2020, Teo presented her first joint exhibition Offline Colour at Art Porters Gallery together with Jamie Tan.
