Take a stroll in the Painting. Immerse your senses in a colourful Southeast Asian market by the sea. Listen to the bargaining. Smell the salted fish, Taste the Nasi Tumpang. Play Congkak with the kids. Peek into the attap house but beware of a grumpy cat!
This roving installation is a collaboration with National Gallery Singapore and Frasers Property Singapore. The installation roved through 4 malls over July 2024 (North Point at Yishun, Waterway Point at Punggol, Tampines 1, and The Centre Point at Orchard Road). The scenes are inspired by two of Cheong Soo Pieng’s paintings – At the Market (1964), and Drying Salted Fish (1978), the latter which can be found on our $50 note.
At each weekend, I did a live painting at the respective malls. I painted myself painting myself painting myself….:-)!
