More importantly, the conception and premise of the artwork is rooted deeply in the public sphere, where it is widely visible and freely accessible to all.

SENSE SURROUND
Material: Painted aluminiumLocation: St. Regis Hotel Duration: Permanent Collection: St Regis
Singaporean artist Anthony Poon’s sculpture Sense Surround was specially commissioned for St. Regis Hotel in 2006. It features geometric shapes and a specific use of colour that are highly characteristic of abstract art. Although the geometric shapes are repeated many times in this sculpture, there is a great deal of variety and difference in the way they appear to viewers. Playing with simple qualities like form, shape and colour, Poon’s abstract sculpture strikes a balance between being complex and universal.
