In celebration of the National Heritage Board’s 15th anniversary, I’ll be featuring a special artefact found in our NHB museums every day for 15 days, starting with this piece from the Singapore Art Museum entitled “Dotting the Eye”.
This collage piece is hailed as one of the finest examples of its kind by 1989 Cultural Medallion awardee Goh Beng Kwan. The use of traditional papercuts and brilliant, vibrant colours are meant to evoke to splendour and celebrations of Chinese festivals and rituals. Check out Dotting the Eye in its full glory at the Singapore Art Museum – from now until 15 August, enjoy free admission after 3.00 pm!
