About the artwork
Ho Chee Lick's "Rangoon Road" captures the architectural grandeur of a building with a raw, almost sketch-like quality. Rendered in crayons on stained paper, the artwork emphasizes the building's facade, highlighting its intricate details and imposing presence. The use of bold lines and contrasting colors creates a sense of depth and texture, while the stained paper adds a vintage, aged effect. Flags and banners hanging from the building add a touch of vibrancy and human presence, contrasting with the building's stoic form. Ho's signature style of capturing everyday scenes with a focus on observation and simplicity is evident in "Rangoon Road," showcasing his ability to find beauty in the urban landscape. The date, 2018, is visible on the artwork, placing it firmly within his ongoing exploration of Singapore's neighborhoods.
