About the artwork
Hong Sek Chern presents multi-point perspectives of landscapes in Singapore. With a masterful interplay of blocks and lines, she presents a renewed and fresh depiction of familiar areas. Her paintings reflect a tension between the old and new, juxtaposing glass office buildings with traditional shophouses in creative compositions that trigger the senses.
