Celebrating Multicultural Identity Through Singapore Food Culture

Property Details

Vibrant mural painted on a large wall along Victoria Street in Little India, part of the dynamic Singapore art scene where street art, urban art, and graffiti by local and international artists transform public spaces into open‑air art exhibitions. This striking visual arts piece blends art deco influences with traditional motifs, echoing works seen at the Singapore Art Museum, National Gallery Singapore, and during the Singapore Biennale. The composition reflects art forms from fine arts to performing arts, inspired by culture, history, and the multicultural society of Singapore—a young nation in the Asia Pacific region and Southeast Asia. Surrounded by boutique shops, main streets, and neighbourhood landmarks like Haji Lane, Clive Street, Kerbau Road, Rowell Road, and Ann Siang Hill, the scene recalls the modern way artists such as Yip Yew Chong, Ernest Zacharevic, and Novena Angela have helped develop art in Singapore. The imagery nods to Chinese immigrants, India, China, and Asia, weaving in food, music, and life as part of the city’s important role in global art. References to Tiong Bahru, Chinatown, the central business district, and even pop culture like Crazy Rich Asians highlight how shops, streets, and events connect early exhibitions to the new generation of emerging artists. This modern city’s contemporary scene features sculptures, collection highlights, and inspired ideas showcased at Art SG, the Nanyang Academy, and venues supported by the National Heritage Board, making it a must‑visit for those who want to find street art in Singapore and explore its world of creativity.
