Tiger Sculpture at Gardens by the Bay

Saw this gigantic 7m-tall colourful endangered Sumatran Tiger sculpture located at the SG50 lattice Gardens by the Bay last Thursday. This art sculpture is made up of recycled material like portable loos and road dividers. It is created by Portuguese artist Artur Bordalo who aims to raise awareness on global wastage of material and the need to reduce, reuse and recycle. This art sculpture will be on display for the next three years. 

Rethinking Sculpture in Singapore National Gallery #Art

After submitting my assignment this Monday, I went to the National Gallery to explore various art exhibitions as I was looking forward to seeing the art exhibition by the great artist Wu Guan Zhong.

By the way, Singaporeans enjoy free entry to various art exhibitions, including Wu Guan Zhong at the National Gallery. Just bring your NRIC card with you.

On the way to get the free ticket, I saw a few art sculptures as part of the, "Nothing is Forever, Rethinking Sculpture in Singapore" at the basement. I like the big metallic bluish green sculpture, Entrepreneur by Vincent Hoisington. He actually used polyurethane paint on aluminium material. The metal sheet was shaped precisely to create contours and patterns in high relief.

Tian Tian Xiang Shang 天天向上

Gigantic and medium sized sculptures of Tian Tian Xiang Shang are currently on display at Raffles City shopping mall. Designed by a Hong Konger, this sculpture literally means always looking up. To me, it is about working hard for a better future. 

The smaller sculptures are in the shopping mall and the painting designs on the sculptures are done by others artists.
