Shophouse at the Intersection

Description

watercolour on paper
signed, lower right
54 x 74 cm

Though the piece is dominated by negative space that gives the impression of a brightly lit sunny day, a closer look reveals surprising depth and attention to detail under the five-foot way, where a lively crowd bustles around the shops, safe under the shade.

In the distance, high-rise apartment flats signal an imminent modernity.
