Read more about the Artist’s Inspiration behind “Masala Skies”:
“All over Little India, Shophouses are found. This artwork is a reflection of that story. ‘Masala’, refers to an Indian spice , similarly motifs of chillies and anise are sprinkled over the canvas. The rich reds and yellows remind one of these warm dishes. A traditional Indian pattern in printed in the sky and actual sari cloth has been stitched into the Shophouse itself. I can imagine the warmth of this artwork suitably paired with a rich red carpet.
The Shophouse artwork is reflective of Singapore culture and heritage. Shophouse buildings can be found all over the island. These stately buildings are a wonderful expression of the blending of a work and living space.
The photograph used in this artwork of a row of well-preserved Peranakan Shophouses was taken at Koon Seng Road, Joo Chiat, Singapore.”
