Not Just a Little Red Dot: Black & White Bungalow

• Acrylic on canvas
• 60cm x 75cm

The black-and-white bungalows near Scotts Road, particularly in the Goodwood Hill area, are iconic colonial-era homes built in the early 1900s by the Public Works Department. These houses were originally constructed for British civil servants and feature a blend of Victorian and tropical architectural styles.

Goodwood Hill is known for its serene environment, just steps away from the bustling Scotts Road, and houses some of Singapore’s oldest black-and-white bungalows. I gave the bungalow a splash of kaleidoscopic colours, making it the only black-and-white bungalow in Singapore that is neither black nor white!

About the ‘Not Just a Little Red Dot’ collection

When someone mentions 'Singapore', what comes to mind? Despite its small land footprint, Singapore has transformed into one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities. Over the years, iconic symbols and landmarks were created to represent Singapore in the world.

Created in Kelly's signature contemporary style, each artwork in the ‘Not Just a Little Red Dot’ collection is inspired by a national symbol or landmark in Singapore's history. The year when the symbol/landmark was created/completed or the name of the location is 'stamped' on the artwork, marking its significance.
