I Paint my Singapore by
Yip Yew Chong
This hoarding exhibition displays 10 curated scenes from Yip Yew Chong’s 60-metre canvas painting, "I Paint my Singapore."
Each scene offers a window into the developmental journey of Singapore’s coastal and civic districts throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Reflecting both the artist’s personal experiences and Singapore’s metamorphosis from rural kampongs to a modern garden city, these scenes serve as a poignant reflection of collective memories and identify of Singapore.
Through Yip Yew Chong’s artistic lens, viewers are invited to explore not only the artist’s impressions but also engage with the shared heritage from the past, while contemplating the future of the nation.
