National Gallery Singapore, Façade The intricate web of fine lines found in Lolay’s signature drawing style represents signs of life manifesting out of mundane, lifeless objects that emit energy and sync up with our everyday moods and emotions. Yen Yen is a manifestation of imagined lifeforms that threaten to engulf the Gallery’s architecture, reflecting the desire to keep cool and joyful in the melting heat of the tropical region. The combination of quirky, light-hearted line drawings and splashes of colour reflect a spontaneity that is often found in graffiti art.
