This is an interpretation of the Elgin Bridge, one of the oldest in Singapore. It’s distinct shape, whiteness against a contrasting background and age-dating back to the late 1800s-make it stand out. To me, the arches of the bridge represent a ear-symbolic of the ever-listening habits of those in power. Lord Elgin was, after all, the Governor-General of British India. The lush foliage around-with Fort Canning in the background and other greenery-blends in with the blue of the water of the Singapore River. The bridge may be a symbol of Imperial power and enterprise but ultimately it finds itself subordinated to the endurance of the tropics.

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.
