Lim Poh Teck In
this sunny, tropical painting, icons of everyday life
offer a glimpse of Boon Keng's fascinating past and
vibrant present.
The works are replete with details that tell of changes
in Boon Keng over the years. In a lively example of
interactive art,
some of the more charming details from the paintings
are reproduced on the station walls and subways where
the young and old may find them.

Slow
Motion by
April Ng Kiaw Ngor These etched metal
panels takes a slice of urban life in Singapore
at the start of Millennium and translates it into
prints of commuters etched on zinc plates on the
station walls. Candid, casual and unpretentious,
these black and white images of family, friends
and colleagues will serve as visual commentary
of our lives and times for future generations.
Rhythmic
Exuberance by
Poh Siew Wah
The supporting
activity of Farrer
Park's glorious
past is
captured through
paintings that
combine figurative
drawings
and abstract
expression. Sports
as varied as
soccer and swimming
and athletics,
are depicted
through expressive
brush drawings
in black ink
alternated with
paintings of
abstract shapes
and lines in
pastel colours.
NE10
- Potong Pasir
Point
of View by Matthew
Ngui Striking and contemporary,
this work sees text messages recording the aspirations
of ordinary people being embedded
into familiar images of urban life like clock faces
high-rice flats. Installed at carefully chosen spots
in the station, the pictures and words come together
to form images of surprising detail
and depth.
Note: Matthew Ngui's artwork for Potong Pasir station
is currently in production. The work is expected to
be installed at the end of 2003.
