Ang Ah Tee’s Shop at River Valley Road, Singapore (1982) captures the essence of a bustling, historic street in Singapore. Known for his bold use of color and texture, Ang transforms a familiar urban scene into a vibrant, almost abstract composition. Through expressive brushstrokes and vivid hues, he evokes the lively atmosphere of the shopfronts and architecture, reflecting Singapore’s rapidly changing cityscape. This work is a nostalgic yet dynamic portrayal of everyday life in the 1980s.
