Sentosa has teamed up with 'Sticker Lady' Samantha Lo to create signs with a Singapore twist that will be placed at Siloso Beach as part of this year's National Day celebrations.

 

ENLARGECAPTION

SINGAPORE: 'Sticker Lady' Samantha Lo is getting a new canvas to paint on.

 

However, this time round, she will not be getting into trouble because of her art.

 

Sentosa has teamed up with her to create signs with a Singapore twist that will be placed at Siloso Beach. The collaboration is part of Sentosa's National Day celebrations.

 

The project between Lo and Sentosa is called Signs on the Loose.

 

Sentosa said it hopes to work with her on a longer-term basis to come up with new signs every few months.

 

In May, Lo was ordered to perform 240 hours of community service after she spray-painted Singlish phrases on several roads and pasted stickers on various public properties.

 

Regina Chia, senior manager of entertainment and programming at Sentosa Leisure Management, said: "I believe that with Sam's creative expression, display, and appreciation of the Singaporean way of life, she is able to translate that to simple messages that appeal to both local and international audiences. The delivery of her work is fun, witty, tongue-in-cheek, yet relevant."

 

Ms Chia added that partnering with Lo on the project is one of Sentosa's initiatives to work with local talents.

 

"In recent years, Sentosa has been providing home-grown talents with a platform to showcase their works to both local and international audiences," she said.

 

Lo said that working with Sentosa was a good opportunity to express her creativity freely.

 

"What I really like about working on this project is the fact that Sentosa believes and trusts in an artist's vision," she added.

Bravo to Sentosa and happy for sticker lady.

If it is a sign of MICA or someone high up doing a measured loosening of tight reins, it is a good start. If not , never mind.

Good for her!

 

Singapore government wants to nurture creativity, and yet, when it shows up, the legal system stifles it. <_<

[Popok]

yeah good for her! Lets have more witty quotes arnd the island!

[Dankoo]

applaud Sentosa for the initiative! its a win-win!

why are our authorities curbing creativity and keep telling us that we need to be entrepreneur, we will become so schizophrenic soon, who are artists, artist are people who think out of the box, explore and challenge the boundaries without causing harm to society or themselves, the 240hours community punishment is a bit heavy, this sends out mixed signal to the artist community, in order to land on a BIG JOB or famous, get arrested first.

Looking at sticker lady's work, which is using just standardise font from printing company to make the stickers with no design at all, I doubt she can do want you want. Her 'talent' can give this graffiti "my grandfather car".
