Kicking off the Singapore Bicentennial celebrations @sgbicentennial #SgBicentennial had Singaporean artist Teng Kai Wei doing an #opticalillusion of the iconic Sir Stamford Raffles statue. Some interesting facts about this much-photographed statue: The statue is actually a copy of the original dark bronze statue, and was placed here in 1969 on the 150th anniversary of Singapore’s founding. The much older, original statue, is located in front of Victoria Memorial Hall at Empress Place. Sculpted by renowned Thomas Woolner, it was unveiled on Jubilee Day on 27 June 1887. #stamfordraffles #Singapore #sgartweek #Singaporeart #SingaporeArtweek #StreetArt #streetartistry #StreetartSg #urbanart #singaporegraffiti #streetart #graffitisg #streetartsingapore #singaporstreetart #streetarteverywhere #ExploringSingapore #ExploreSG #igsg #igsingapore #Sgig #sgmemory #sgheritage #wonderlustsingapore #whatissingapore #PassionMadePossible #ThisIsSingapore #SingaporeInsiders #PassionMadePossible #sgart #artsg (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIdiL9B7s6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9am1ghm0o9bk
