Chinatown series no 6

My fascination with Chinatown, its rich cultural heritage, commercial activities and blend of new and old

architecture was the inspiration behind this series of 15 paintings. Capturing the changes around Chinatown, i

aim to demonstrate the contrast between the desire and demand for progressive growth and the pursuit of

culture and heritage conservation in Singapore.

Depicting both the new high-rise buildings and old conservation shop houses, each piece in this series

symbolizes an energetic development of urban space and nostalgia. i explore shifting of images, gestural

strokes and layering of paints to create a sense of tension, uncertainty and melancholy, a reflection of the

social, physical and spiritual phenomenon of a rapidly changing Singapore.
