Art at HDB Hub

When you passby the Coffee bean to POSB bank at Toa Payoh HDB Hub, do you notice these art pieces?
Calligraphy with very appropriate Chinese poem to be hung on the wall of HDB Hub.

Take a closer look! This mural art piece that presents a historical showcase of HDB developments, portraying the evolvement of design of HDB flats over the decade, are actually made up by these personalised clay tiles by HDB staff (as shown below). How interesting!

Search for them next time you visit the Hub, you could had passed by many atimes & just missed them!

心灵画展 Therapeutic Art Exhibition at Kampung Senang

I was informed about the presence of the art exhibition when I went there to replenish my stock of Funori. The exhibition included paintings & calligraphy of existing famous Chinese artists. To let you appreciate the art better, they had arranged for volunteers (generally on duty during 12-2pm but pls call the centre in advance to confirm) to help explain the history and meaning behind the art works. Personally, I think it really make a difference when explaination is provided to enhance your appreciation of the art.


I was attracted by this painting of beautiful pair of mices enjoying the fruit : Pomegranate (石榴).
An unique European style of frame is being used for this painting of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (地藏王菩萨) and one naturally feels a sense of happiness or devotedness before the painting.

This painting of green flowers: Peony (绿牡丹) gives the audience a very soothing pleasant feeling & one naturally relaxes before it.

The Art Exhibition is held at its Aljunied centre : 10 am to 6 pm.

Blk 106, Aljunied Crescent, #01-205, S'pore 380106. (HDB block near Aljunied MRT). Tel: 6749 8509

Most paintings are available for sale as donation to Kampung Senang.
