Abstract
'Where There Is Where There - Urban Landscape, No. 27' captures the dynamic relationship between urban development and natural elements in Singapore. The painting employs techniques associated with Abstract expressionism, conveying the chaos and harmony of a rapidly changing cityscape intertwined with remnants of wildlife and greenery. Through abstract forms and vibrant colors, it reflects Singapore's evolving history of human-wildlife interactions amid extensive urbanisation. The work underscores how the city-state’s unique tropical climate and geographical position influence these complex relationships, emphasizing that even in a highly urban environment, the natural world persists and shapes societal narratives.
