Fascinated by the developments in Japanese Art and Design in the 20th century (especially since the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945), I have developed a series of six digital paintings that apply the themes of mutation, fantasy and hybrid design to a whole new vision of Singapore. This is the Island state as you’ve never seen it. To me, Singapore is a fast-paced polyglot that needs a deeper, more expressive culture. Singapore is a city constantly searching to express itself: it’s a mutation of cultures and global influences and through this project I embarked on an imaginary journey to discover my image for Singapore - as if it had been influenced by only one culture –that of post-war Japan.
