The Story of the Painting
Distinguished Singapore artist Low Hai Hong experimented painting oil on paper and loved the effects. Painting oil on paper meant he could leave white spaces, similar to Chinese ink painting and even watercolour painting.
In this painting, the large sections of white space, from the road to the skies, create additional quiet calm to this peaceful road filled with beautiful greenery.
