‘The Canvas’, one of the spaces in Mandala Club, is now home to a set of new art sculptures commemorating the legacy of Singapore’s first Prime Minister, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. This installation was created by New York-based contemporary artist Daniel Arsham.
Originally commissioned by Refinery and X3D Studio in honour of the centenary of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s birth, the two sculptures, Eroded Bronze LKY Bust 1:1 and LKY Full Body 1:2, symbolise Mr. Lee Kuan Yew at significant moments in his life. Both are made using bronze, stainless steel, and patina. LKY Full Body 1:2 depicts Mr. Lee right before his declaration of Singapore as an independent nation, following the country’s separation from Malaysia. On the other hand, Eroded Bronze LKY Bust 1:1 stands as a relic to remind us of his wisdom, inspiring us to build a nation that is inclusive and progressive.
“We are excited to introduce to The Canvas two sculptures of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, a man who has played such a formative role in the development of Singapore into what it is today. As Singapore’s most dynamic private membership community, Mandala Club is a home for the celebration of art in every form, and we are thrilled to expand our collections in the Club with a tribute to a legend whose contributions to the country need no introduction,” says Ben Jones, Co-Founder and CEO of Mandala Club.
All guests of Mandala Club will be able to access the installation, as well as members of the public during the opening hours of The Canvas from 8am to 5pm, upon registration.
