Synopsis
Oftentimes, it takes a fresh set of eyes to see our city-in-a-garden in a novel and different light.
When French visual designer Nicolas Damiens first arrived in December 2021, he quickly found himself enamoured by what he saw in Singapore.
As he wandered through our streets, Nicolas captured and transformed Singapore’s perpetual summer, palm fronds and familiar landmarks into City Pop art – an art style characterised by depictions of urban environments infused with pastel shades, a retro ambience, and a feel-good sense of bygone days.
First presented at Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) as part of the 2025 vOilah! France Singapore Festival, SCCC is proud to bring CITY SingaPOP to Jurong Lake Gardens, and to showcase Nicolas’s vibrant creations at the Gardens’ Grand Arch.
A Singapore Art Week 2026 showcase, the exhibition features a total of 41 works, including new pieces of the Gardens’ iconic Chinese architectural landmarks such as the Twin Pagoda, alongside other recent works.
So take your time and browse through the exhibition, pause at the works that arrest your attention, and rediscover Singapore as reimagined through CITY SingaPOP.
