The 3.2 Shooter
This mural seems pretty new, probably done to commemorate SG50. I’m unable to get any pings online on this mural or the artist(s) responsible for it. The mural depicts scenes of the past in Jalan Besar, which includes New World Amusement Park, heritage shophouses and transportation mode of yesteryears. The mural extends to merge with imagery associated […]
“Children on a Bicycle” is one of Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic’s iconic street art in Penang, and is really popular with tourists. There was a group of Chinese national tourists hogging the mixed media graffiti for their numerous selfies when all of a sudden an old man speeds down the road nonchalantly at top speed, […]
I can’t find the exact name of this graffiti or the artist(s) responsible for it. The style of the caricature reminds me of 1980s anime, and seems to play on surreal humor on the classic box cutting magic trick. The idea of the magician’s boxes plays off nicely on the grid surface of the shophouse […]
I was walking around Penang’s Armenian Street when I chanced upon this graffiti. The mural was created by artists Jim Oo and John Cheng, collectively known as Penang I-Wall, back in 2014. The street art extends all the way to the concrete drain covers at the bottom, which used to feature speech bubbles of common […]
It was a slow Saturday afternoon. I didn’t plan for anything much. I was walking aimlessly around the rooftop garden at Orchard Central when I chanced upon this sculpture by Victor Tan. This sculpture is part of a series of 5 figures contoured from steel wires, titled “The Stair, The Clouds and The Sky” that dot […]
George Segal’s Cinema (1963) is one of the more prominent pop art sculptures on display at Albright Knox Art Gallery. The last time I was at AK, I only had my iPhone with me and I snapped a photo of this sculpture too, alongside the other pop art paintings near it. AK has a huge […]
I’m finally done with UB. I’ve graduated and am ready to move on. This statue of a bull is a mascot of my college. It’s the spot where most students take a photo of for keepsake at their graduation. I took this photo some time in December last year, during the bleak winter. For some […]
I’m trying out the new logo HL did for me. Exciting things are going to happen to my portfolio website… Anyway back to the photo… I was in Koreatown in Toronto with HL during Spring break. A graffiti beside the dumpster… For some reason it bears more Japanese influence than Korean. Maybe it’s the rays […]
A sculpture by a high school student that was on exhibit at Albright-Knox Art Gallery. This sculpture caught my eye while I was walking through the upper floor of Albright-Knox. For some reason I did not bother to jot down the name of the sculpture and the artist. This particular work left me a deep […]
So it snowed in epic grandeur on Wednesday… I went out photographing the snow while Shiyi decides to get busy pelting snowballs at me. How fancy eh… But of course pelting snowballs at an easy target gets boring quickly so she decide to build a snowman. Oh well… It didn’t work out as it was […]
A glazed terracotta sculpture by Andrea Della Robbia made approximately during the period of 1470-1475.
This is Vincent’s van Gogh’s Self-portrait With A Straw Hat, otherwise known as The Potato Peeler (1887). He’s done a lot of self portraits, so this is just 1 of the 27 portraits he did. I’m not a fan of pointilism and really dreaded having to attempt pointilism during art class back in secondary school. […]
