Passages: Scenes from the City
artcommune presents Passages: Scenes from the City, a compelling exhibition running from 5-16 July 2025 that traces how three generations of Singapore watercolourists have captured the rhythms, textures, and quiet beauty of everyday life — from bustling urban streets to serene settings.
Dating from 1961 to 2024, the paintings in this exhibition offer a rich survey of the diverse techniques and stylistic explorations of Singapore’s watercolourists – from the broad, transparent washes rooted in the British tradition to ochre-layered applications and inventive mixed-media treatments. Viewed collectively, they trace the evolution of a rich and enduring tradition of watercolour painting in Singapore.
Passages: Scenes from the City features works by Lim Cheng Hoe, Gog Sing Hooi, Chan Chang How, Hua Chai Yong, Tong Chin Sye, Leng Joon Wong, Low Puay Hua, Ong Kim Seng, Teo Seng Giap, Ho Sou Ping and Tam Kwan Yuen.
