SINGAPORE – Original art pieces by local artists will be featured at seven train stations along Stage 4 of the Thomson-East Coast Line , which opens on June 23.
The Straits Times got a first look at the stations and their respective art installations at a media preview on May 2.At Tanjong Rhu station, acoustic panels shaped like honeycombs and circles are fixed on the station walls in a piece that explores Singapore’s colonial past.ars, the artwork’s aluminium panels evoke the image of the ears of plants that are able to listen to everything and everyone.
The artwork draws inspiration from outdoor movie screenings in the 1960s and the rich history of Katong Park. The piece blends old archival pictures from the past with images of the present photographed by Ms Sim, layered over a base image of the iconic Big Splash water park by retired ST photographer Tan Suan Ann.
For multidisciplinary artist Ang Sookoon, 47, whose works explore the relationship between physical and metaphysical realms, the plasticine block recalls the innocence of childhood and the joy of playful activities.The structure also serves as a whimsical homage to the history of Marine Parade and the lives of the people who have walked through the area. It stands outside of Marine Parade station so that people passing by may interact with it.
The artwork includes two portraits of family trees where each member is represented by a chair, and aims to celebrate the diverse cultures and generations within families.
