Known for his energetic interpretations of urban landscapes and daily life, Low often paints with a bold palette that transforms familiar scenes into dynamic visual experiences. Low Puay Hua’s Singapore River reflects his signature style of vibrant colour and textured brushwork, bringing new life to one of the nation’s most historic landmarks. In this work, the river is not only depicted as a geographical space but as a living artery of culture and commerce, filled with the pulse of activity and memory. His expressive strokes and saturated tones create a sense of movement and vitality, capturing both the physical beauty of the waterfront and its symbolic role in Singapore’s story of progress. Through the Singapore River, Low Puay Hua reimagines the city’s heritage with contemporary energy, preserving its history while celebrating its ongoing transformation.
