About the artwork
Ho Chee Lick's "Rickshaw #1" captures a moment of everyday life in Singapore with his signature raw and observational style. Rendered in crayons on stained paper, the artwork depicts a rickshaw laden with goods, its wheels and frame meticulously detailed. The composition, with its contrasting colors and textures, creates a sense of depth and movement. The rickshaw, a symbol of a bygone era, is placed within an architectural setting, suggesting a narrative of labor and transportation. The artist's focus on capturing the mundane with a sense of authenticity is evident in the artwork's simplicity and directness. The year, 2018, is noted on the piece, situating it within Ho's ongoing exploration of Singapore's urban landscape.
