The 3.2 Shooter
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 […]
A Buddhist devotee prays in front of a granite carving of the Meditating Buddha at the Gal Vihara in the ruins of the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. The carving is one of four depictions of Buddha sculpted out from a single giant granite rock. This has got to be one of the most amazing rock […]
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.
Part of a mixed media artwork on display at the Botanic Garden. It’s entitled “Vertical Submarine”. I kind of social-proofed the act of photographing the sculpture up-close and personal and found a huge group of Singaporeans swarming towards the faux flowers. As a result, I got fed up and left. The crowd was just too […]
The name of this sculpture by Chong Fah Cheong is “First Generation”. My uncle told me recently that my maternal grandfather was one of those kids that used to jump into the Singapore River for plain fun. But did he do it butt naked like the kids depicted on the sculpture?
A sculpture by Victor Tan Wee Tar. Tucked away in a corner of the Botanic Garden, I was refreshingly surprised when I came across it.
Doesn’t remind you of Futurama and that 80s song, “Mr Roboto”? That’s how I’ll probably look like in scrap metal…
When you keep pointing faults of others, it inevitably comes back to you.
That person in the center is me. 🙂
