In Snakes and Lanterns, artist Lindsey Jean Mclean skillfully interprets the essence of Singapore’s Kampong Gelam area by employing her lively brushwork and a vibrant palette on her canvases. At first glance, the paintings may appear somewhat abstract, but upon closer examination, a female figure emerges from beneath veils and smoky strokes – a recurring motif in her collection. This captivating yet unsettling interplay of attraction and veiling within Mclean's art presents a fascinating irony, granting the figures within her works the power to dictate the viewer's focus.
