Andrew Yeoh, professionally known as Drewfunk, is a Malaysian-born artist based in Australia, known for his distinctive fusion of street art and fine art. With a background in graffiti and a degree in Multimedia & Design from RMIT University, his work blends urban aesthetics with rich cultural narratives drawn from his Asian heritage and personal experiences.
Drewfunk has held eleven solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group shows, both nationally and internationally. His artistic practice spans murals, intricate ink illustrations, and vibrant paintings, often centered around recurring motifs of animals and mystical creatures. These characters reflect his ongoing exploration of identity, nostalgia, and the balance between Eastern and Western influences.
Through his art, Drewfunk seeks to reconnect with his roots and reinterpret tradition within a contemporary context. His visually striking work continues to evolve, resonating across cultures and artistic disciplines.
