The Sculpture Plaza, designed by Lichtenstein, comprises an open pavilion with grass beds and holds his "Six Brushstrokes", 1996 series. The collection of six tall, colourful sculptures are whimsical calligraphic renditions of nature, representing a dramatic example of large-scale outdoor art.
The Roy Lichtenstein Sculpture Plaza - Six Brushstrokes
depicting giant happy brush strokes. The colorfully comical collection of sculptures were fabricated in Bristol Rhode Island and installed here at Millenia Walk (9, Raffles Boulevard) in June/July 1997. With their stark bold colours, black outlines and playful yet confident strokes, these colossal-size sculptures are distinctively Lichtenstein masterpieces. They are also a highly visible example of outdoor civic art in the grand tradition of Picasso, one of Lichtenstein's key sources of inspiration. Brought into Singapore only months before Lichtenstein's death, they are a befitting epilogue to his life's achievements and his final wish to showcase his art in Singapore. Admire these final works by Roy Lichtenstein, cause celebre of the pop art world. Six Brushstrokes is a skilful blend of Chinese calligraphic tradition with western bebop' themes of post-industrial nature. Specially commissioned for Millenia Singapore, the six aluminum sculptures of varying heights from four metres to twelve metres depict abstract vignettes of nature, land and seascapes, fulfilling Lichtenstein's final wish to showcase his art in Singapore.
