Description
The mural painting of Cheng Kooi reflects the pursuit of an individual with the passion and zest for life. The mural celebrates the life of an artist and the creativity that is being produced. Commissioned by renowned local fashion designer Peter Kor for his boutique in Purvis Street. Cheng Kooi conceptualized the murals based on the Chinese ink paintings as a creative way to camouflage the exposed cement patches and the turquoise green paint pigments found on the existing walls of the pre-war shophouse. The oriental themed murals compliment the designer’s trademark in his clothing designs. The seamless interaction between different fields of the Arts and architecture is well espoused here.
