The shores of the Singapore River are where people gather at lunch, by evening and on weekends.The sidewalks they frequent are actually bridges crossing the river. Here, they find time to unwind,loiter and generally indulge in people watching. Reinforcing the idea of leisure is the very European looking Riverside Point building which dominates the backdrop. Further behind, in layers, are office high-rises. I wanted the viewer to focus on the people rather than the built environment and what they do in a particular setting. To give clarity to context and the actors, I did not diffuse objects and people much. For me, the challenge was to ensure detail came out but without succumbing to either realism or decorativeness. By dipping into my reservoir of illustrations, I created a story-like atmosphere. At the same time, I used light to add body to the storyline. There is a context here and a hint of relationships between the different individuals. The questions are for the viewers to ask and think about the answers. Then, each viewer has his or her own special story. If you live in the tropics or have visited often enough, it can be your tale. I am greatly inspired by American Realism and the works of Edward Hopper.

Singapore
A naturalised Singaporean, Soma Pradhan comes from a family of agitators and legislators with roots in coastal Bengal. She took a Masters in Botany and initial classes in painting beside the Ganges in places trodden by the likes of Mark Twain and George Mallory. After a decade of work in Delhi in textiles and fashion with a post graduation from NIFT, she moved to Singapore. There, she learnt object design, watercolours and Chinese ink painting at NAFA, bastion of the late, great Georgette Chen. Soma works across paper, silk and silver. Her paintings are available online at the Saatchiart.com and Theartling.com. She has exhibited at NAFA. She has been published in The Rappahannock Review, Anatolios Magazine, 3Elements Review, Paranthesis Journal and the Lumiere Review. Soma is inspired by the works of Tolouse-Lautrec, Wassily Kandinsky, Georgia O Keefe and other influences such as New Wave cinema, DC Comics and Japanese film. She seeks to constantly challenge and redraw the boundaries of the possible. Soma believes that the innovation in art which began with Impressionism at the peak of the Industrial Age, must continue in the digital, instant social age to keep it relevant. She believes this is possible through bold experimentation in material, interpretation of movement and the use of light.
