Art in Transit: “Everyday Singapore 每日所见” by Quek Kiat Sing 郭捷忻

Shenton Way is the financial hub of Singapore. I decided to juxtapose the daily activities of the people here with our old currencies. People looking up at the Foreign Exchange Index are likened to bird watchers in the park. Hence, the bird watchers stare at the bird series currency. The Lau Pa Sat lunch crowd is a daily scene depicted too. Curiously, there are lots of joggers during lunch. Making them run after the note (junk boat series) was a humorous self-reflection I put in here. People queuing at the ATM and ticket machines can see themselves mirrored in the murals.

Many of the models in the paintings are my own family and friends. Art imitates life. ‘Everyday Singapore每日所见’ is a reflection of ourselves.

Gift of Art: “Stride Alongside the Bo-men” by Daisy Boman

Donated by PSA International, 2022. A similar piece is also featured at Pasir Panjang MRT Station.

The Bo-men transcend race and nationality, connected by the common thread of their shared humanity. Generally displayed in groups, through form and posture they convey a sense of being ‘Alongside’ each other, by striving together towards a shared goal. The sculptures celebrate human potential, resilience and the spirit of collaboration, which echo themes central to the core ethos shared by PSA and Singapore. Daisy Boman is a world-renowned artist who creates unique pieces that pay tribute to the shared bonds between individuals and their potential to create movements of purpose and passion towards a shared vision.

Located at Shenton Way station, the Bo-men sculptures capture the energy and strides of commuters as they move around Singapore’s financial business district.
