TAKE BUS 14

TAKE BUS 14, 2024
Acrylic / Mixed Media on Canvas
36 x 36 in
SOLD to a client in Manila

UPDATE as of 19th of October, the last day of the exhibition: the series for ONE SUNRISE AT A TIME is officially sold out. 

This painting is about the cake-like houses along the side streets of the Joo Chiat district, my neighborhood of 12 years. To get there, I took Bus 14. There is a charming house in one of the narrow roads, painted in a delicate shade of blue that reminds me of my childhood and the forget-me-nots that grew in my lola’s (grandmother) garden in Manila, and the lush gardens of my Singapore home.

With the support of the Philippine Embassy of Singapore, this piece went on exhibit in Find Good Art’s group show of Filipino artists at the Pan Pacific Hotel in June 2024. Fortunately, it made its way back to Manila in time for my first solo show in Manila this October.

ONE SUNRISE AT A TIME will run through 6-19 October 2024 at @risespaceartgallery , 2/F Comuna Bldg, 238 Pablo Ocampo Sr. Ext., Makati City. Gallery hours are 11am-6pm from Tuesday to Sunday.
