This monumental diptych by Singapore Cultural Medallion recipient Goh Beng Kwan was commissioned as the centrepiece for the lobby of Ascott Raffles Place. Goh took cue from the project of converting the historical art décor office building, formerly known as Asia Insurance Building, into premium serviced residences, to create this piece of abstract work. Executed in his signature mixed-media style, Old Lyrics with New Melody combines layers of rich colours and textures to produce a joyful and well-articulated tune.
