Street Art in Kampong Gelam: Where to Find Singapore’s Best Murals
Last updated September 4th, 2026
Kampong Gelam (also known as Kampong Glam) is the heritage Arab/Muslim quarter in Singapore and home to the beautiful Sultan Mosque and famous for a mishmash of Middle Eastern restaurants and hipster shops. It’s also historically a street art hotspot in Singapore and one of the first places where murals shaped the neighbourhood, so I put together this Kampong Gelam street art guide to show you where my favourites artworks can be found.
Kampong Gelam is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Singapore. My first job’s office was located here in the late 2000s and I’ve spent many days walking its alleyways since. I’ve also been documenting street art in Kampong Gelam before it became popular – this was my very first Singapore street art post written in 2014 – murals really only took off in Singapore from 2015 (aka SG50) onwards, so I’ve seen how the murals and street art scene have evolved.
Kampong Gelam was the haunt for Singapore’s pioneering street artists because it was relatively underground, but as it became more gentrified and touristy in recent years, the artworks here have changed as well, but it remains one of the few places in Singapore that you can still find proper graffiti and changing walls.
Where to find street art in Kampong Gelam
The murals are spread across the Kampong Gelam district, but there are general clusters where you can see a number of works in case you don’t have the time to visit every spot:
- Haji Lane – perhaps the district’s busiest stretch with lots of hipster shops and colourful murals in between
- Baghdad Street – the two alleyways in front of Sultan Mosque are lined with older murals
- Aliwal Street / Sultan Gate – not so many tourists visit this part of Kampong Gelam, but here are where you’ll find the street art crews and the changeable walls
- Victoria Street – another quieter area that has a surprising number of large wall murals
I’ll go into more detail for each cluster below, and here’s a handy dandy Google Map to find these spots.
Haji Lane
One of the highlights of Kampong Gelam, Haji Lane is bustling with activity, especially on weekend evenings when the roads are blocked off the traffic and the eateries become al fresco, spilling out onto the road. There are hipster shops galore here, including an oddly large number of photobooth studios for some reason. Some of the shopfronts are quite pretty, but you’ll find most of the murals here closer to the Beach Road end.
Arab Street – Haji Lane Linkway
Alleyway linking Arab Street and Haji Lane (opposite junction of Arab Street and Baghdad Street)
Ultraman and Merlion mural by DPLMT: Closer to the Haji Lane end is this mural by local art collective DPLMT (‘Diplomat’) featuring the Japanese character Ultraman alongside a reimagined and rather mechanised looking Merlion amidst the shophouses. This mural was part of SingapoReimagine ULTRAMAN campaign in 2022 to mark 55 years of relations between Singapore and Japan, along with the 50th birthday of the Merlion first created back in 1972.
This collaboration was between the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Tsuburaya (they own the Ultraman character). If you’ve spotted smaller random Ultraman characters in other murals around Singapore, that’s related to this Singapore Tourism Board campaign!
I’m not sure how I feel about this mecha-version of the Merlion, but I have to admit that it’s a very interesting take on this symbol of Singapore! The Ultraman connection had me a bit confused at first though, but it makes sense given the Japan-Singapore ties.
Tropical flowers mural by OchreG: On the Arab Street end of this linkway is a new mural completed in August 2026 by local designer and stylist Geraldine Toh, better known by her online moniker OchreG. It’s very eye-catching – a large bright teal wall with larger-than-life colourful tropical flowers painted all across it.
I wish the alleyway was a bit wider so you can better appreciate this mural in its entirety – I couldn’t photograph it fully because the alleyway was also quite crowded, and when I visited the cherry picker lift was still in front of the mural, so I might go back again sometime later.
Check out the WIP video that OchreG took while painting this mural.

This alleyway has seen many cool murals over the years that have sadly been replaced over time.
Haji Lane – Bali Lane
Walls around Piedra Negra (241 Beach Road) and Blu Jaz (11 Bali Lane)
There are a whole bunch of works by Didier Jaba Mathieu or JabaOne in this area commissioned by the owners of the F&B establishments Piedra Negra and Blu Jaz. This area sees so many tourists and photographers, but it is one of the prettiest and most colourful parts of Kampong Gelam.
Junction of Haji Lane and Beach Road, side of Piedra Negra restaurant facing Haji Lane
Aztec Wall by Didier Jaba Mathieu: This particular Aztec-inspired wall from 2011 is pretty impressive and possibly the most iconic mural that people remember Haji Lane for. It’s quite impossible to photograph this wall in full because the alleyway is so narrow and there are tables and chairs cluttering it up, and you might encounter a line of people near the Beach Road end waiting to take their shots of this iconic lane.
I love the bold bright style, but it’s also interesting to see how Jaba’s works evolve through the years by looking at some of his more recent murals nearby. This early style is quite different from what you’ll see of his work these days.
Check out Jaba’s photos for a montage of the full artwork.
Blu Jaz, 11 Bali Lane
Blu Jaz by Didier Jaba Mathieu: The pub between Bali Lane and Haji Lane is called Blu Jaz, which is also the name of the work that Jaba did in October 2024. It features a French-speaking African singer-actress from Mali called Fatoumata Diawara singing with a jazz band around her. If you compare this to the Aztec, you can see how much more refined his style and colour sense is now.
Jaba has a nice reel with a close up view of the mural from the opposite roof.
Aztec Face by Didier Jaba Mathieu: He also painted the wall facing the Blu Jaz mural which features a giant futuristic Aztec face, but it’s hard to see the full work because of all the people sitting in front of it.
Original Version: Aztec Face by Didier Jaba Mathieu
Originally this work had a yellow background, but the background colour is now white, possibly to better match the Blu Jaz work that it faces. That yellow was pretty bright.
No longer there: El Vuelo del Cálao by Didier Jaba Mathieu
There used to be another mural at the cross junction, but it’s since been removed
Ophir Road
Junction of Ophir Road and Beach Road, facing Ophir Road
El Lío (The Clash) by Didier Jaba Mathieu: Jaba has a bunch of murals painted in May 2018 on the side of Piedra Negra restaurant facing Ophir Road, unfortunately these are not the easiest to see because of the ongoing roadworks happening along Ophir Road which means a lot of glimpses of the walls through machinery and hoarding.
These particular works are sort of midway through Jaba’s evolution as an artist – way more detailed than the initial futuristic Aztec concept that he had. I love how much detail there is in the work that pops up the more you look at it.
I have some pix from before the roadworks started, but back then there were trees and foliage blocking the walls. Check out Jaba’s instagram for better pictures of the murals.
Amended: Click to see earlier iterations of the murals on this wall
Here’s what the wall looked like in 2016 and before. You can see quite clearly that Jaba’s old style was much simpler and how it evolved through the years.
Baghdad Street
Baghdad Street cuts across Kampong Gelam in front of the majestic Sultan Mosque which is the centerpiece of this neighbourhood. Most tourists spend time along the pedestrianised Bussorah Street that leads to the entrance of the mosque, and Baghdad Street is also blocked on weekends for car-free events. There are many murals that can be found in the alleyways in front of the mosque.
Off Bussorah Street
Road opposite 67 Bussorah Street
Kampung Spirit by RSCLS: There is a little alleyway that leads behind the shophouses towards the public carpark. Here is a long mural done by one of Singapore’s premier street art crews RSCLS titled ‘Kampung Spirit’ and features various activities and things you can find in this Kampong Gelam neighbourhood – fishing shops, the teh-tarik man pulling tea, chickens, and even an old arts space along Aliwal Street that’s no longer there.
I always wondered if this was the finished mural because it looked half-done, but this seems to just be the style they were going for. I did a street art tour with RSCLS one time and it seemed like this was an independent project that they would work on whenever they had time, but it hasn’t changed since. It’s also not particularly graffiti or street art looking, which is a bit unusual too.
No longer there: Juggernaut Fight Club by Slacsatu
Right opposite the work on the grills used to be this mural by Slacsatu for Juggernaut Fight Club’s back entrance grills. The quote reads “It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep on moving forward!”
Off Baghdad Street
Alleyway off 12-14 Baghdad Street near junction of Arab Street
Bejeweled: An Homage to Kampung Intan by TraseOne: This small alley between shops along Baghdad street is home to this lovely artwork by another well-known local street artist TraseOne that was commissioned for the Singapore Heritage Festival in March 2019.
The artwork was apparently inspired by the fact that Baghdad Street (once known as Kampung Intan) was once a popular trading spot for jewels and precious stones – Intan means Diamond and you could find Intan jewellery makers and goldsmiths around the area as well.
Check out Trase’s very cool timelapse of painting this work in just 36 hours!
No longer there: Kampong Glam by Zero
There used to be another work by RSCLS leader Zero further down the alley, though that has since been removed.
Muscat Street Alleyway (next to 58 Baghdad Street)
Kg Glam Basket Shop by Yip Yew Chong: Right across the road from Ts1’s piece is an artwork by Singaporean muralist Yip Yew Chong called Kampong Glam Basket Shop. There actually was a shop that was full of wicker baskets at that corner for a long time, but they closed down during COVID, so the new owner requested for the mural to commemorate this old shop.
In a departure from his usual hidden cats, this one has a very prominent large grumpy cat sitting up high amidst the wicker baskets, though if you look to the bottom left corner (blocked in my photo by the people), there is a cat down there too!
Muscat Street – Gelam Gallery
There are two alleyways, one on either side of the mosque. These are the back alleys of the shops along Arab Street – Bussorah Street, and Bussorah Street – Kandahar Street. Google has both these streets listed as Muscat Street.
In July 2019, Gelam Gallery was created along 2 streets on either side the pedestrianised Bussorah Street that leads to the mosque.These lanes used to just be back alleys and where the dustbins are located, but has since been transformed into what they are calling Singapore’s first outdoor art gallery, and it’s a little different from your usual street art and murals as there are little artist plaques at the side of each work.
Gelam Gallery was set up by The Admin (I think they’re now defunct), the same people who used to run the weekend market in this same area. When I checked with them before, they mentioned that they may refresh these works but not on a frequent basis though since they’re no longer around, it does’t seem like anyone cares for these works so they’ve been left to weather the conditions or some just get painted over or removed by new tenants.
There are a mix of artists here, from known street art names like SlacSatu to up-and-coming artists fresh from local art schools like LaSalle and NAFA. I’m not putting up all the works here because there are too many, just some of my favourites:
No longer there: Alphabatik by Slacsatu for DesignBridge
Junction of Arab Street and Muscat Street (where Oman arch and panels are located)
The Kampong Gelam Mural by Yip Yew Chong: This lovely large mural is yet another work by Yip Yew Chong called The Kampong Gelam Mural and it’s pretty details and tells a number of stories that make up the area’s history. On the left are old buildings including the Istana Kampong Gelam and the first version of Sultan Mosque that looked like Malay style village houses and not the current Indo-saracenic version.
To the right is the cross section of a shophouse with a Malay family living in it. Towards the bottom of the mural at eye level, you can see depictions of the Teh-tarik (tea pulling) man, wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) and a comparison of old vs new Kampong Gelam maps to see how the area has evolved over a century.
Aliwal Street – Sultan Gate
A less visited side of Kampong Gelam is on the side of the Malay Heritage Centre away from Sultan Mosque. Most of the works on Aliwal Street can be found at the Aliwal Arts Centre which houses many different arts groups, including one of Singapore’s more popular street art crews RSCLS (say Rascals) on its second level. These walls are unusual because the works here change pretty often, a rarity as most walls in Singapore are commissioned fixed projects.
Read more about what Singapore’s street art scene is like.
Gedung Kuning
73 Sultan Gate, side of wall facing the park
Di Kampong Gelam by RSCLS: This mural Di Kampong Gelam on the side wall of the Gedung Kuning, aka the yellow house right by the front entrance of the Malay Heritage Centre, was created over Singapore’s National Day long weekend in August 2026 and painted with the help of the community.
This mural is credited to RSCLS – ANTZ, DEM, GERAS and ZERO
No longer there: Wak Cantuk by Zero (2019). There was a more controversial mural that Zero painted on the side wall back in 2019 for the Singapore Heritage Festival that looked like vintage Malay/Indonesian comics depicting the story of a real-life serial killer who lived in Kampong Gelam. Unfortunately people found the topic distasteful and the mural was removed quite quickly so I never did get a chance to see it, but check out Zero’s post to see what it looked like.
Weave Suites – Midtown
33 Jalan Sultan, side facing Pahang Street
Weaves Suites by LABSIXFIVE: I drove past this work and was immediately struck by how it looked like another piece I remembered seeing in Armenian Street, and it turns out I was right, it is the same artists LABSIXFIVE. This is a commissioned piece for Weave Suites Midtown, a co-living space. There’s a hint of a Peranakan theme in the sarong kebaya and tiffin in the mural, but I love that you can see Sultan Mosque through the window.
Cuturi Gallery
Alleyway between 65-67 Aliwal Street on side of Cuturi Gallery
Flying ships mural by Didier Jaba Mathieu: This work by Jaba was commissioned by the Cuturi Gallery in Jan 2021 and I was actually pretty lucky to actually see him working on this! He took about 2 weeks just to paint this and it’s pretty impressive. It’s an interesting mix of history and futurism – shipbuilding was quite a flourishing trade by the early Bugis community who were seafaring folk and settled around the Kampong Gelam area though I’m sure the boats weren’t flying back then.
Go around the corner towards the side entrance of the Malay Heritage Centre and you’ll see more of Singapore’s wildlife that’s quite cleverly hidden by the wall angle, perhaps a commentary about how that’s true in real life as well. I recognised some of the animals like the pangolin and colugo!
Aliwal Arts Centre
20 Aliwal Street
Alphabatik by Slacsatu: This is actually the wall next to the Aliwal Arts Centre, but it is at the entrance that leads to the side and back alleys. This colourful piece is Singaporean artist Slacsatu called AlphaBatik for Aliwal Urban Arts Festival 2019 that’s based on traditional Indonesian Batik prints. I really love the colours and vibrancy though it’s gotten a bit faded – you’ll see various renditions of this work all over Kampong Gelam.
Head around the side and back alleys to see the artwork – the side alley is where motorcycles are parked, and the back alley is a very large wall that usually has some quite impressive works. These works change often, so I’m just showing you some works that I have seen in the past.
These walls above are all at mostly standing/ladder height, but there is also a section of wall higher up that requires a boom lift. This section of wall typically changes in January when RSCLS and their collaborators create something during Aliwal’s Urban Art Festival.
No longer there: Alice Pasquini
There used to be a tiny work by Italian artist Alice Pasquini in this alleyway
Sultan Arts Village
71 Sultan Gate (in front of entrance to Malay Heritage Centre)
This rather obscure little building is easy to miss, a tiny arts enclave just a few roads down from Aliwal Arts Centre and in front of the entrance to the Malay Heritage Centre. It is home to The Black Book, a shop run by local graffiti crew ZincNiteCrew (aka ZNC), which sells spray paints and apparel. They also run the occasional graffiti battle here, so keep checking out their practice walls. There is art on the walls all around Sultan Arts Village building.
Sultan Art Village Signage: The front of Sultan Arts Centre where most of the shops have their entrances has a painted sign on the wall. No idea who painted it though.
No longer there: Sultan Art Centre signage
Here’s what the wall used to look like before:
Malay Culture + Alphabatik mural by Slacsatu: If you go around to the side of the building that faces Pahang/Baghdad Street, you can see this female Malay dancer – has been there for awhile and I don’t know who did it either. The batik is all Slac, though in this version you can actually make out distinct objects. Curious to what those objects are? They are traditional Malay instruments! I think I can spot a Gedombak and Gendang, as well as the brass chimes of the Gamelan. They actually show what used to be on the wall before – scroll down to see.
Original Version: Before the Alphabatik
Here’s what the wall looked like originally before the Alphabatik treatment:
No longer there: Alphabatik (original version)
My favourite Alphabatik piece by Slac was on the other side of SAC before it was painted over:
Victoria Street
This stretch between Victoria Street and North Bridge Road is where you’ll find most of the commissioned street art works by Ernest Zacharevic in Singapore – he’s the guy whose works help make Penang’s Georgetown a street art destination – but also in recent years more murals from other shops in the area.
Arab Street
Alleyway off 122 Arab Street
Colourful portraits by Didier Jaba Mathieu: This work is one of Didier Jaba Mathieu‘s newer works put up in January 2020 and showcases more of his signature portraits that can also be seen in his works at Piedra Negra on Haji Lane (see below). You can see a face through the archway if you approach from North Bridge Road, and it’s a nice surprise when you realise that he’s actually painted most of the wall in this really narrow back alleyway.
Jalan Pinang
9 Jalan Pinang, Hotel NuVe entrance
Satay Club and Kampong Gelam by Yip Yew Chong: Jalang Pinang is home to YipYC‘s Satay Club and Kampong Gelam murals painted in 2016 for budget Hotel Nuve. These heritage murals reference a popular area for eating satay that used to be on nearby beach road as well as the Gelam trees that Kampong Gelam was named for – you can read more about that here.
Jalan Kledek
8C/D Jalan Kledek, side of Camera Museum facing Victoria Street
One Team Singapore by Ceno2: A little further down from the Lion Cub mural is the Vintage Camera’s Museum with an exterior shaped like a camera. The wall facing Victoria Street has had various murals on the side by local Singaporean artist Ceno2 who has a pretty distinct portrait style.
The current version features Team Singapore, several Singaporean sportspeople who have performed well and medalled in recent years: Yip Pin Xiu (Para Swimming), Loh Kean Yew (Badminton), Maximillian Maeder (Kitesurfing), Shanti Pereira (Track) and Nur Syahidah Binte Alim (Para Archery).
No longer there: Cameraman by Ceno2
Originally there was a different mural on the side of the camera museum:
749 North Bridge Road, side facing Jalan Kledek
La Boca mural: This mural was done in 2021 but I never got around to checking it out. It was commissioned by Cuban Bar La Boca which has since moved out, but the mural has been left there. No artist tag though so I’m not sure who created this work.
Jalan Klapa
Walls between Jalan Klapa and Jalan Sultan, facing Victoria Street
Kids in supermarket trolleys by Ernest Zacharevic: Further down Victoria Street and you can see more of Ernest Zacharevic’s commissioned works from his time in Singapore in 2013. These kids in supermarket trolleys attracts a lot of people taking photos because of the actual supermarket cart attached to it, you’re likely to see lots of ridiculous photos in action here.
AMC Mural: A little further down on the side of the AMC building is this giant exclamation mark with two kids that was revamped in 2020 as a collaborative mural involving a bevy of young local creatives. Artists include Tobyato, DPLMT who also did the Merlion mural at Haji Lane, Kezia, IAMUGGLEE, Delaphy and Garry.
Here’s how it used to look like before:
Original version: Kids in exclamation mark by Ernest Zacharevic
This is what the original version of the mural looked like before the addition of the Singaporean artists:
Go around the side of the building to the back alley to see another version of the mural.
Jalan Sultan
133 Jalan Sultan, wall at cross junction facing Victoria Street
Children by Julia Volchkova: Keep walking down Victoria Street to the junction of Jalan Sultan is this impressive wall by Russian artist Julia Volchkova – I first spotted her works when I was in Penang way back in 2016 – her earliest international street art murals can be found in Georgetown and Balik Pulau, so it’s nice that she’s finally made her way to Singapore for this mural for the Aparthotel Heritage Collections on Victoria. She created this work in a rather rainy week in early September 2025.
I do enjoy her mural’s monochromatic style and portraits of local people. There is a symbol between the children that I knew was a Malay symbol – it turned out to be a Wau bulan or traditional Malay kite which does call back to the area’s Malay roots.
No longer there: boy in window by Ernest Zacharevic
This is what the wall looked like before, featuring a very small subtle work by Ernest Zacharevic
How to get to Kampong Gelam
I first knew this place as Kampong Glam (Say ‘Glum’ and not glam like glamorous), but in recent years they’re moving back to calling it by its proper name Kampong Gelam, which stems from the Malay word Gelam, a reference to the Gelam trees that once grew abundantly in this area and gave this place its name.
The closest MRT stations to Kampong Gelam are Bugis (East-West, Downtown Line) or Nicoll Highway (Circle Line) and about 5-10mins walk away.
I’ve split this guide into 4 major areas where you can check out street art works. Use the map to help you navigate. I update this guide when I can, but street art is ephemeral by nature so it’s always changing, don’t be too surprised if you can’t find it.
For a self-guided audio tour, check out Kampong Gelam Street Art tour on Voicemap that I curated and recorded.
No Longer There
Here are some of the older street art works that I liked but have either been painted over or removed, thought I’d keep them here for posterity.
There’s been a lot of construction and road works happening along Ophir Road and a long stretch of hoarding was put up. Rather than leave it empty and boring, Singapore’s street artists came together to work with the One Kampong Gelam association to create the Southeast Asian Graffiti Hall of Fame – it’s basically a who’s who of works all along both sides of the hoarding. However, most of that hoarding is now gone as the construction progresses.
You can also check out my side project Singapore Street Art on instagram @singaporestreetart where I tried to document all past and present street art in Singapore, though I’ve gotten quite lazy in recent years. Hashtag #singaporestreetart if you find anything cool that should be featured here.
Head over to my Singapore Street Art page for more locations to see murals in Singapore.
hey there just wanted to leave a comment to recognise how fantastic this is. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you, Jaclynn, for your street art guides, which we definitely will be consulting when we visit Singapore from Manila. Is your VoiceMap self-guided tour of Kampong Glam art up to date? I read a TripAdvisor review from Oct. 2023 that reported that commencing the tour “outside a station with multiple exits, under a sign that no longer exists” threw her off for a while. So, should we just use your guide above?
Hi Marc, thanks for reading! The blogpost is probably more updated – there’s been quite a lot of construction going on along that stretch because of the new subway (MRT) line that they are building around there so roads have moved, so I am actually working on reworking that audio tour route now but it’s taking a bit more time because it involves rerecording some bits, thanks for letting me know! Drop me a note if you have any clarifications :)
The street art looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you Jaclynn for these amazing guides – I love street art especially in Little India as they are so relevant to local Indian culture and based on your guides I have already discovered most… also Kampong Glam last weekend where I tried also Voicemap though in the end I got little lost from route when not following it exactly :D Heading to Chinatown next after finding some missing pieces in Little India this weekend that I have not managed to see yet
I think I might need to update the Voicemap guide a little, but thanks for the feedback! At which point did you get lost? So that I can take that into consideration when I review :)
Glad you found the guides useful, happy street art hunting!
Hey Jaclynn – Guess what? I ticked off Kampong Glam and Little India precinct today. Had a great time following your guided trail. Thank you. And I didn’t realise that it would be a great exercise too. Close to 20,000 steps . Can you guide me re artworks in Joo Chiat?? I live close by and would love to capture some artworks.
Thanks and warm regards
Girish
Glad you enjoyed yourself Girish! Well I’m not aware of any large clusters of work in Joo Chiat like you can find in Kampong Glam, but there is an Ernest Zacharevic jousting boys work there, so if you click on the Google Map and go to ‘East Side’, that’s where most of the relatively east-located works I know of can be found.
Nice post :) enjoyed it .. the Singapore graffiti scene does hosts events regularly where newer writers/artist participate with the more experienced guys. Thanks for the re-post of our crew’s piece on your instagram :) feel free to drop by any of the local graffiti events.
thank you, will try to pop by some time! :)
Hi again!
There is a new space that recently opened up at 369 Tanjong Katong road.
You should totally check it out to get some cool pics. It has been opened to artists over the past couple of months a collaboration with NAC and SLA. The building will be demolished in December 2017 if I’m not wrong.
I heard about it and have been seeing the pix, but never got around to it yet and didn’t realise it’s gonna be demolished, better get going soon then thanks for the tip!
Sure no worries.. it is locked so you would have to contact one of the artists who are going down to paint ot NAC to get access
good to know!
So glad I stumbled across your page before our trip, I will be sure to check out some nearby to where we are staying.
hope you find it useful! check out the Voicemap audio tour of the street art in the area as well for something a little different :)
Awesome find!
Thanks for the great streetart guides for Singapore. I’ll be there in a few weeks time and looking forward to using them. Has saved me a lot of research on Instagram.
Glad you found it helpful and I hope you have a great time! Check out instagram.com/singaporestreetart which is my side instagram account specifically for awesome street art works around Singapore :)
I’ve been following your streetart instagram account for a few months now but only just found the blog
There’s one in an alley off serangoon road between lavender street and 7eleven/shell. North side of serangoon street… The alley has a Chinese style gate.
It depicts a bar scene with a rock band.
I’ll look out for that! Thanks for the tip!
On the other side of serangoon road there is a corner restaurant ‘the French stall’ their shutters are in graffiti too, you’ll have to come before they open, though.
And I ran into Yip Yew Chong yesterday in Everton rd, there’s new work in progress. ;-)
i know there’s one in the east side he just did like a kampung house, gotta go exploring soon! :) thanks for all the tips!
There’s a pair of gold fish on one of the buildings along tiong bahru area…
I’ve heard! And the giant chickens too which I still haven’t seen yet >_<
Hi Jaclynn! Thanks for this article! I’m a huge fan of street art too and have started to notice recently that Singapore has had more street art murals popping up on obscure walls! This is a fantastic guide to start exploring with (:
Thank you! I’ve discovered quite a bit of Singapore just by hunting street art, now to put together more guides…
Big thanks for that! Going to SGP tomorrow for the 5th time or so and willing to explore smth different this time, you article is very helpful! :)
thanks emiwdrodze and have fun! you just might see some new stuff and if you do find new locations, so share, am happy to update my post accordingly! :)
awesome piece. i never knew Ernest did those pieces along victoria street!
Yes indeed Neil – it’s nice that we have some of his works on our streets too :)
He has another piece in Joo Chiat too!
Hello Joan,
My name is Richard Tassart,I’m French and live in Paris. You certainly know Paris is an important city of street art. I write in a local blog posts on street art. Like a critic I try to analyse the works.
Thanks for your blog ( my future daughter in law who lives in Singapore told me that street art does not exist in town.She gave me the link of your blog).
The blog I write is Canal street (I sign Richard)
My son and his wife will live in Songapore soon. I go in Singapore for the wedding on October.
Congratulations.
Richard.
Bonjour Richard and thanks for leaving a note, merci beaucoup! :)
I haven’t seen the street art in Paris, though that’s probably because I only got more interested in it recently.
Congratulations to your family and I hope you enjoy your time in Singapore
Wow, street art really really is quite hard to find in Singapore and I’m so glad that you’ve shared about these hidden gems!
thanks Joan! There are more spots emerging though, the harder I look! I hope that the new SingaporeStreetArt project makes it easier for people to stumble upon these gems :)
