Celebrating Cultures, Inspiring Art

By Vincent Seet (Seet Kie Hong)

This painting traces the journey of the Chingay Parade float from 1973 to 2025, symbolising the "Road to UNESCO". First launched in 1973 as a Chinese New Year street procession, Chingay has since evolved into an iconic annual celebration of Singapore’s rich, multi-ethnic, and cosmopolitan culture. For Vincent, the 1973 float holds personal significance, particularly the image of the cow, which inspired his very first drawing and sparked a lifelong journey in the arts. This piece not only honours Singapore’s cultural tapestry but also marks the beginning of a deeply personal creative path.
