Public Artworks

Public art can take various forms, from 2D wall murals and 3D sculptures to performative and ephemeral manifestations of an artist's creative process.

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.

20 TONNES

20 TONNES
Material: Granite Location: National Museum of Singapore, Front Lawn Duration: Permanent Collection: National Museum of Singapore Dimensions: 3.2 x 1.5 x 2 m

Cultural Medallion recipient Han Sai Por is renowned for sculpting and carving with the very challenging material of stone. In 20 Tonnes, Han displays her expertise with the material. This sculpture is inspired and constructed using the traditional techniques of breaking stone. You can feel the weight and mass of the sculpture just by walking by and through the six slabs of stone, which resemble the famous Stonehenge in its shape and form. Han’s practice deals with humanist ideals and values, taking a special interest in Nature.
