Not Just a Little Red Dot: Singapore Sling
Not Just a Little Red Dot: Singapore Sling
- Acrylic on canvas
- 60cm x 75cm
Created in 1915 at Raffles Hotel by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon, the Singapore Sling is the quintessential National Cocktail of Singapore. A cocktail that is cleverly disguised as a fruit drink, it allowed women to publicly consume alcohol back in the days. Recreated in my signature style, I’ve also included the recipe for those looking to make their own Singapore Sling at home!
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.
