About the artwork
Ho Chee Lick's "Rickshaw #3" continues his exploration of the iconic vehicle with a focus on its structural essence. Rendered in crayons on stained paper, the artwork presents a fragmented view of the rickshaw, emphasizing its frame and wheels. The composition, with its stark contrasts and negative space, creates a sense of depth and texture. The stained paper adds a layer of age and history, enhancing the artwork's raw, unpolished aesthetic. The artist's signature style of capturing everyday scenes with a focus on observation and simplicity is evident in the artwork's directness and lack of embellishment. The year, 2018, is noted on the piece, situating it within Ho's ongoing exploration of Singapore's urban landscape. "Rickshaw #3" offers a unique perspective, focusing on the vehicle's form rather than its function, inviting viewers to contemplate its history and significance.
