Han Sai Por Sculpts Singapore
Singapore is a land of contradictions, and its mysteries can’t be unlocked in one day, or even one year. Its elusiveness is certainly part of its charm, and it’s easy to get lost in the fantastic possibilities for enjoyment here. With gorgeous bay views, and a stunning skyline, the combination of natural and urban sceneries here offer endless opportunities to daydream. It’s one of the best places in the world for people-watching, where individual style and flair are always displayed, at all times of the day, and it’s easy to see why it’s one of the fashion capitals of the world. Because of the extraordinarily unique nature of Singapore, boutique hotel accommodations are a splendid choice to compliment this city-state.
Our boutique hotels offer plenty of choices to please any taste, and are selected for their excellence in service and style, so your own style is gracefully reflected with enormous hospitality. Hospitality is an art form in this old sea port, so that you can enjoy your down time just as much as your time out exploring. When you are exploring this fantastic place, be sure to check out Fort Canning Park. It’s a favorite among locals, as well as visitors, and has a fascinating 700 year history. It’s in the center of the busiest shopping area, so there are always people around, checking out the experimental botanical gardens or the hosts of other attractions here. There are also excellent sculpture installations here, and you can often see the work of one of Singapore’s master sculptors, Han Sai Por.
Her Seed series was on display here until 2002, and it was a big hit among the park visitors. It was a splendid example of her work, which is often in stone or granite. Her aesthetic is to find the hidden life in the stone, and to bring part of it to light, and keep part of it hidden, so that the seed becomes a metaphor for how the artist sees the world. She has shown her work all over the world, and is featured in many public art displays. Han Sai Por (http://www.hansaipor.com/bio.html) won the Outstanding City Sculpture Award in China in 2006. She has also won Singapore’s Cultural Medallion Award a couple of times, and in 2008 received the award to create public art based on the local flora.
