Sculptor Paul Vanstone

Watching Clouds is the work of British Sculptor Paul Vanstone. The sculpture depicts a pair of heads gazing up at the clouds in the sky. Displaying the power of creativity and imagination, this sculpture inspires people to reach new heights.

The sculpture was exhibited at the ‘On Form Exhibition’ before it was sold and shipped here, and later installed in the Gardens by the Bay. The location was very appropriate. On an open grass patch, the sculpture sits looking up into the sky – Watching Clouds.

Sculpture Chong Fah Cheong

Standing at 3.8m, Moongate is a marker for the SG50 (Singapore’s 50th year of independence) Time Capsule. Deliberately non-figurative, the sculpture is envisioned as a portal that explores ideas of journeying and arriving, prompting viewers to imagine fresh narratives as we author the next chapter of Singaporean history together. The circular ring suggests continuity, connectedness and a shared sense of community that defines what it means to a Singaporean.

Chong Fah Cheong is a Singaporean sculptor who spends his time between Canada and Singapore. Quite a few of his works were installed all over the island. His bronze works of boys playing are full of local flavour, and easy to relate to.

The Seashell

Sculptor Manolo Valdes

This was on display at Gardens by the Bay for six months only. I was lucky to see it while it was there.

Manolo Valdes was born in Valencia, Spain. Apparently, he is one of the few artists who have mastered multiple mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking. He create large works in which the lighting and colours express a sensation of tactility. His work is striking and decorated with historical art symbols.

Manolo’s iconic sculptures are exhibited outdoors in the parks and gardens of major cities such as the New York Botanical Gardens, Hofgarten, Dusseldorf and Chatsworth House.
