多美歌吹漫画风 六地标壁画绘出历史面貌 发表于 2024 年 1 月 15 日 08:55 PM 多美歌地铁站的“漫画联系”壁画星期一亮相，展示国泰大厦、国家档案馆、总统府、麦唐纳大厦等多美歌一带的地标。（SMRT提供） 多美歌地铁站的“漫画联系”（Comic Connect）壁画星期一（1月15日）亮相，漫画以国泰大厦（The Cathay）、国家档案馆、总统府、麦唐纳大厦（MacDonald House）等多美歌一带的六个地标为素材。 “漫画联系”是SMRT为纪念成立35周年，与本地艺术家及艺术团体联手，在全岛35个地铁站展示历史壁画的合作项目。这一项目自2022年6月启动，多美歌地铁站是第23个展出壁画的站点。 这次在多美歌地铁站展出的壁画是SMRT与视觉艺术中心（Visual Arts Centre）的第三次合作，创作团队前后用时三到四个月完成。此前合作的壁画，于去年3月和7月分别在索美塞地铁站和中峇鲁地铁站亮相。 视觉艺术中心策展人及总监刘婉婷（33岁）代表创作团队说，他们的办公室位于多美歌格林（Dhoby Ghaut Green），也就是在多美歌地铁站上方，因此这个壁画对他们而言别具意义。“壁画中的元素都是我们小心斟酌挑选的。我们希望通过色彩缤纷的壁画展现历史，让新加坡人能够记住其意义，并向游客展现这里的丰富历史。” You can read the original article here.

中峇鲁地铁站壁画 展现社区历史文化遗产 地铁业者SMRT在中峇鲁地铁站设立壁画。（图：黄振灵） 地铁业者SMRT在中峇鲁地铁站设立壁画，让通勤者一览中峇鲁的丰富历史文化遗产和特色地标。 当中包括新加坡改良信托局（SIT）建设的组屋、中峇鲁巴刹、陈笃生墓碑、齐天宫和葫芦庙。 配合成立35周年，SMRT计划在全岛35个地铁站推出“漫画联系”（Comic Connect）壁画，中峇鲁地铁站是这项计划中的第15个地铁站。 继索美塞（Somerset）地铁站，这是SMRT第二次同视觉艺术中心合作设立壁画。 这幅壁画的长度是11.48米、宽2.86米。创作者洪伟坚，谈到了自己的创作灵感和创作时面对的挑战。 “我以醒目的形状和颜色为主要创作灵感和元素，以浪漫的方式捕捉中峇鲁的标志性建筑。我在创作时主要面临的困难在于选择要展示的结构，以及如何简化和保留它们的本质。” 住在花拉路（Farrer Road）的洪伟坚表示，从探索中峇鲁的文化特色到提交作品，整个过程持续了近6个月。他很荣幸能够设计这幅壁画。 他说：“组屋具有强烈的装饰艺术气氛，我认为它至今还是中峇鲁主要的代表建筑。我还想向一些文化元素和一些已经不存在的建筑致敬。” SMRT同本地艺术社群合作，从去年6月起，陆续在大巴窑、实龙岗、巴耶利峇等多个地铁站设立壁画，预计在今年底之前完成这项计划。 You can read the original article here.
