Trishaw Rider - Endnote
This tactile graphic combines all previous pages to present a complete version of the painting.
Lai Foong Moi is known for capturing scenes from the diverse, multicultural landscapes of Malaysia and Singapore. Her works are largely influenced by the Nanyang style, which combines Post-Impressionist techniques with a Chinese pictorial structure. With its flat dimension, this painting leans closer to the Chinese painting style.
This painting captures the daily life of Singapore's working class in the 1960s. It reminds us to appreciate the many individuals whose hard work helped shape modern Singapore. As our socio-economic landscape continues to evolve, let’s not forget these people, each of whom have struggles, hopes and dreams.
